If Google can do something like http://translate.google.com/, surely we
can do something just as good in Moodle. Here is a first attempt. It is
a bit rough around the edges, and only a couple of target lananguages
have been implemented so far. (More and better attempts welcome!)
In order to ensure that this gets adequate testing, I have made sure that
it gets turn on by default. However, if you really don't like it, you can
turn it off under Administration > Development -> Experimental settings.
* New Capability report put under Users -> Permissions
* Miscellaneous category renamed to Development
* Unit tests and Functional DB test moved to be under Development.
* The hard-coded hack that was used to change the permission that controls the Backups and stats reports replaced with settings.php files.
* There were two hidden Miscellaneous things in the old category, so I moved them. Multilan upgrade now under Lanuages, and Online assignment cleanup now under Plugins -> Activity modules. Both still hidden.
There was already a way for admin report plugins to control where they appeared in the tree, but it was not documented, so see http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Admin_reports
