The following translations are currently under review by the language pack maintainers: sq, hr smile
The following translations have not yet been reviewed by the language pack maintainers: ca, de, eu, pt_br, eu
The Ukranian translation (uk) was rejected by the language pack maintainer, as it had too many non-ukranian words sad
Nowadays you do not need to include the translated language strings (besides English) within your module files. Please look at http://lang.moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2485 where you will find the current status for translation of Moodle plugins.
Thanks for a very nice plugin smile

Did you remember to call setType() for 'gamekind'? Defaulting to PARAM_RAW cleaning.

This is seen as a security weakness, as described here:
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=227121
This is a great plugin.
I think it will be even better if you add the following English language string along the lines of:
$string['modulename_help'] = 'This module contains 8 games: Hangman,Crossword, Cryptex, Millionaire, Sudoku, The hidden picture, Snakes and Ladders and Book with questions';
The modulename_help string is the explanation a teacher gets when he chooses to add an activity by way of the activity chooser in Moodle 2.3 upwards. Most Moodle core plugins and many addons already have such a string.
I hope you can add this new english language string.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I try to use the activity 'games'. creating cross word hung from ...
From a category of questions, or a glossary.
I created a simple glossary, and a list of questions, and then added to the different games work, but when I run the business .... 'Error'. I can not see what is wrong, can someone help me or just tell me his experience of this activity.
Moodle version 2.5 for the activity module 'game' version 2013050305
Thank you
Anyone else having issues with the latest version reporting fatal errors in the header.php file? I've logged a JIRA ticket at https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-4490
