For anyone affected by this in Mahara 15.04, there is a patch for this
for 15.04, and it seems to work: https://reviews.mahara.org/5623

However, we're not going to be backporting this into the standard 15.04
release, because it causes the lang strings used by all the switchboxes
to be changed. And that means that if you were to do an upgrade that
included this fix, but you didn't also upgrade your langpack (or the
translators for your langpack hadn't translated these new strings) then
suddenly all the switchboxes would be in English.

That's too big of a potential side effect for inclusion in a minor
release, because minor releases are meant to be low-risk.

That said, if you are affected by this issue, and you're comfortable
customizing your site, feel free to apply the patch to your own site.
You will then also probably need to supply the translated strings via
local/lang.

Title:
  Have dedicated language strings for switchbox labels

Bug description:
  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.
