As a result of rapid development of the telecommunication infrastructure in Georgia, it became very important to have Georgian language resources in the Internet. The e-learning is not an exception. Distance Education Center – "Sabas Madli", which is a part of Tbilisi Orbeliani State Pedagogical University, focuses its efforts in this direction. DEC works on localization/adaptation of one of the most popular and wide used "Open Source" e-learning systems – Moodle. The latest release of the Georgian language pack can be downloaded from the Moodle official website: moodle.org.
While preparing on several e-learning courses, the group identified the problem of Glossary module, which had problems grouping the Georgian language concepts. As a solution we added and changed some part of the source code, which solved our problem. This change in the source code is important and useful not only for Georgian language, but also for any language, which uses a Basic Multilingual Plane – BMP space for character encoding. To allow other people, who had the similar problem, we uploaded the Source code change as a diff file to the bugs section of moodle.org. It was used by several sites in Japan.
