Hi Son,

If we stored the "thislanguage" as metadata, it would *not* be
translatable through the Launchpad translation interface, but that's the
point. It would stop people who aren't familiar with Mahara, from
changing that string through the web interface.

Instead, "thislanguage" would only be changeable via the same method as
"pluralrule" and "pluralfunction". I haven't tried to update those yet,
so I'm not entirely sure of the details of that. :) I think it's done by
updating the .po file directly and uploading it using bzr.

The translated name of the language is unlikely to change very often,
though, so it wouldn't be that much of a problem that it's hard to
change.

Title:
  Confusion with lang/en.utf8/langconfig.php thislanguage

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We found that in German language pack the string
  lang/en.utf8/langconfig.php thislanguage  was changed  from Deutsch to
  English by someone. This created a problem if the German language pack
  was installed.

  From perspective of translation its correct to translate the string
  English to Englisch. For this string its not correct to translate the
  term in this way.

  I don't know how to handle this in a better way.  Maybe its possible
  to add an information to the string.
