Yes, that all sounds good. Pop them in the trunk.

Julian, Fay,

I've made some changes to XOT, the engine, the wizard, the MainPreloader, Nottingham/wizards/en-GB/data.xwd and languages/wizard_en-GB.xml. Specifically the behaviour of languages is slightly changed (see 3.). I didn't touch the way the language is selected in the php5 player (yet).

1. Added an optional parameter visuals (Flash Engine Visuals) for the learningObject in data.xwd. This is exactly the same as the visuals of IFC (in standalone Xerte). It enables to have a white default player without the accessibility buttons. I still need to implement a way to get those back by a key press. It makes the LO easier for children with ADD or ADHD. The visuals of the learningObject has priority over the visuals of IFC. It doesn't have any effect on the HTML5 code.

2. Added a parameter language (Language) to the learningObject in data.xwd. The parameter itself was already in, but you could not edit it.

3. Changed code, so that the language parameter of learningObject has precedence over the language of LO. This is a change that should be checked in HTML5.

4. Modified the language selection code of XOT (it now uses the language-config.xml file to present the available options, and it is available in the workspace, so now you can cahnge languages even if you use some kind of integration or guest access. (It used to available on the login page only)

5. Added a 'LanguageList'type in the wizard. It presents a combobox populated with the languages in language-config.xml. This is used in 2.

6. Changed the wizard so that the popup messages can be translated as well.

Now, two questions:

1. Are you fine with these changes?
2. Trunk only or 1.91 as well?

Regards,

Tom
