Some ideas:

1. Change the tooltoggle lang files into PHP scripts that can use
standard Mahara language strings. The problem is that this would require
patching TinyMCE's language code, because it's hardcoded to look for
files following a certain naming pattern ending in "*.js". Although,
maybe it could be as simple as changing that code so that it looks for
*.js or *.php?

2. Eliminate the lang string. Change the icon so that it is more obvious
what it does even without a tooltip, and then eliminate the tooltip.
This may cause accessibility issues, though, because then a screenreader
can't tell what this button does? Although I can't recall whether
screenreaders can actually use TinyMCE in the first place.

3. Pass in this lang string via some other method. Does TinyMCE's
localization API let us pass in lang strings via some other method,
which could be accessed by some Javascript printed directly to the page
by the smarty() method in web.php?

Title:
  Translations for the new TinyMCE "toggle toolbar" button

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/3289/ (part of bug 1282341), we're
  adding a button that toggles the TinyMCE toolbar. By default it shows
  just the most basic buttons. When you click this button, it toggles up
  and displays everything.

  The problem is that this plugin only contains translations for
  English, Spanish, German, and French. And, it stores its language
  strings in Javascript files, so they can't be fixed as part of a
  standard Mahara langpack. There is only one language string in this
  plugin. It's a tooltip that says "Toggle toolbars" when you mouseover
  the button. So, just the one string, but on the other hand it's a very
  prominent string, because we use TinyMCE so widely.

  What's the best solution for this?
