Hi,  
I would like to know is it possible to change the language used in the system?  
If possible, how can I change it?  
Is it require a license?  
For example, I want to change the language from English to Malay because it easier for students and teachers to understand and use the system.

I can’t say if Malay is supported, but you can switch to another language here:

Hmm, this may happen if the system doesn’t have file permissions to edit the i18n folder on your server. You can try and check & change these permissions and try again, or grab the files and upload them manually. You can find the German language pack here: [https://github.com/GibbonEdu/i18n](https://github.com/GibbonEdu/i18n)
