Special thanks

Associate Professor Peter C. Taylor, at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia, for working with the earliest prototypes and making many useful suggestions along the way

Translations

Many thanks to every person who has contributed to translating Moodle into different languages. Each translation takes many hours of work, as there are over 1000 phrases to translate (plus all the help files!). Many of the languages have more than one contributor, sometimes working together and sometimes they've taken over the work from a previous person.

Maintaining a list of everyone here is too difficult. For the most up-to-date information see the Language download page.

Themes

Themes give Moodle sites some colour and life. Here are all the themes carried as part of the Moodle distribution, along with their authors:
