I thought I'd have a go at creating a simple site/front-end module from scratch, but had some difficulty understanding the Joomla documentation regarding language files, particularly the conventions concerned with the constant that can be used for the module name/title.

These are my trial and error discoveries:

Code:
mod_example.xml
<extension>
  <name>MOD_EXAMPLE_XML_NAME</name>
  <description>MOD_EXAMPLE_XML_DESCRIPTION</description>
</extension>

EXTENSION INSTALL:    Description   XML<description>  D1 joomla/modules/mod_example/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.sys.ini
                                                             
EXTENSION MANAGE:     Name          XML<name>         N1 joomla/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.sys.ini
EXTENSION MANAGE:     Name tooltip  XML<description>  D2 joomla/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.sys.ini
                                                             
MOD MANAGER: MODULES  Title         XML<name>         N2 joomla/modules/mod_example/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.sys.ini
MOD MANAGER: MODULES  Type          XML<name>         N1 joomla/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.sys.ini
                                                             
MOD MANAGER: MODULE   Title         XML<name>         N2 joomla/modules/mod_example/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.sys.ini
MOD MANAGER: MODULE   ????          XML<name>         N3 joomla/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.ini
MOD MANAGER: MODULE   Description   XML<description>  D3 joomla/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_example.ini


It puzzles me why the module name can be configured three times - see the image link for a better idea of what I mean (zoom in on the lower pane).
