I have encountered a few newly created plugins that have coding errors that cause AMOS to fail to recognize the English language strings and therefore fail to host the English language strings in AMOS, as described in the documentation.
Some of these errors are easy to spot and I have been able to contact the plugin author to have it fixed. Some of these errors are not easy to spot (for a non-programmer such as myself), and need the help from a skilled (and over-worked) programmer such as David Mudrak
Would it be too difficult or time-consuming to add an automatic code check for this when a programmer submits a new or updated plugin for Moodle ? Would this be worth making a tracker issue ?
Or, better still, are there any AMOS translators, proficient as programmers, and willing to check these few hard-to-detect-where-the-problem-is plugins? Maybe they could be given a kind of 'plugin improver' badge
