MDL-18669 get_string refactored to elimiate duplicate code and make it easier to understand. MDL-17763 parent language not processed correctly when getting a plugin string. MDL-16181 more intelligent caching to avoid repeated file_exists checks. MDL-12434 move values to array keys to improve lookup times. The main part of the refactoring is to create a singleton string_manager class to encapsulate the cached data and the processing, while breaking the code up into more smaller methods. Other performance improvements include: * Cache results of plugin name -> locations to search array. * Cache parent lang lookup. * Skip eval if the string does not contain $ \ or %. * Remove the unnecessary sprintf from the eval. There is a performance testing script in lib/simpletest/getstringperformancetester.php. For now this script has the old get_string implementation copied and pasted to the end, and renamed to old_get_string to allow for comparitive timings. There are now some unit tests for get_string in lib/simpletest/teststringmanager.php. I think I have managed to cover most of the tricky cases.
Moodle Language Packs This directory contains the standard packaged Moodle language files, for making the Moodle interface appear in different interfaces. The default language for Moodle is the English language, under the Unicode scheme (UTF8). To add more languages to Moodle, you can either: 1) use the Moodle languages GUI in the interface to fetch new languages and install them in your 'dataroot' directory. 2) download them and unzip the packs in this directory manually For more information, see the Moodle Documentation: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Translation Cheers, Moodle Development Team
