[Bug 1508723] [NEW] Have dedicated language strings for switchbox labels

 

Public bug reported:

Due to Bug 1467252, it may be necessary in some languages to relabel the
switchboxes so that they don't say a direct translation of "Yes/No" or
"Off/On".

The problem is, the switchboxes currently use the strings 'yes', 'no',
'off', and 'on' from mahara.php, which are potentially used throughout
Mahara and can't be safely changed.

The solution is to use dedicated language strings just for the
switchboxes, so that they can be relabelled for brevity without
affecting the rest of Mahara.
