[Smith, John]

Just a note though that I agree with Ron that be role of these buttons will definitely get confused if people alter the text. It is really meant for internationalising.

Publish is NOT save... It is Save/Publish to the publicly available url/space. Similarly Play (which i agree should perhaps be renamed Preview) saves and previews the LO... without overwriting the published public one.

Thanks John – I’ll pass that on to the enquirer along with Ron’s comments then they can decide for themselves what to do.

It’s easy in /languages/wizard_en-GB.xml I think, however I think from memory that the buttons don’t resize so some text ends up hidden…

I think it’s as Pat suggests – sometimes you want to see what something looks like before committing to saving it. On the other hand at least playing and saving together means you have less chance of losing things.

Is it easy / possible to rename buttons if someone wanted to on their installation?

I can see a logic that they want to preview without saving?

I's say that's a misunderstanding of what the two buttons do.
The play button when editing actually saves changes as well as plays. It save changes to preview.xml
The publish button saves and publishes those changes to the public version (if made public)
Sometimes it's desirable to make changes/additions without yet publishing those changes to the version learners see.

As long as you preview or publish you are always saving. In short the current wording is more correct than renaming those buttons.

We’ve received some feedback within the TechDis helpdesk.

Alison Christie from the University of Abertay Dundee has said from some of her workshops some suggestions are –

They would like it if the "publish" button was called save and the "play" button to be called preview. Is this something that can be changed with the developer toolkit? If so which files would we tweak?
