Hi Kristina,

Actually the $string['parentlanguage'] line should be part of the language pack itself. I added it to the documentation for creating a new language pack: https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area/Language_Packs

I also noticed that the pt_BR language pack was missing some even more essential elements from langconfig.php, so I added those in as well. At least, to the master branch. Unfortunately, the Launchpad langpack setup doesn't make it easy to edit the settings of langconfig.php, since they're not really "translations" but are stored in a lang string file.

I couldn't figure out at all how to get parentlanguage into the pt_BR pack through Launchpad. I suspect I'll need to push it in through bzr somehow, but I don't know how to do that. I'll see if Son can help.

Cheers,

Aaron

Six months later, I realize we still haven't made this happen yet. I've filed a Launchpad bug about it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1271010

Basically our obstacle is a lack of bzr expertise. For now, people wanting to use the pt_BR langpack will just have to add $string['parentlanguage'] = 'pt'; to the langpack's langconfig.php file manually.
