I’m often asked where a specific language string hides within a Moodle Language Pack.  There’s no way I can remember them all, and I often find myself  repeating the same process trying to find them.  So I thought I’d keep a running document  that shows where they are and what they do. I’ll keep adding to this list as I go. If anyone has any more, please share them with me (@lewiscarr).  Eventually I’d love to turn this into some funky infographic type document.
