[cle-release-team] [samigo-team] More Samigo questions for 2.9.0 release

[Beth Kirschner]

I can add a little more detail... The intention is to have the default 2.9 conversion scripts assume that English is the default language. If an institution has another language by default, they will need to add/modify their own SQL to make sure the conversion works properly. There are already conversions available for English, Catalan, and Spanish (listed as attachments in the JIRA). The conversion is only for the old tests, as Neal points out.

Before this change, there was some text that would _not_ reflect the user's language preference. After this change, it will dynamically reflect the user's language preference.

We should probably add some suitably apologetic message to the release notes regarding non-English institutions.

For new Samigo tests, the fix should be fine. The issue is only for the conversion of old tests.

The consensus is that we should convert hard-coded English to keys and apply the English and Spanish updates to the database conversion, and include in the release notes that other languages will need to update the conversion scripts with their particular language.

But if I don't hear from him any time soon, I am going to revert the fix because the fix doesn't resolve the issue but causes other issues. I prefer to revert this for 2.9. If anyone has concerns, please let me know.

However, I’m not sure who else needs to pass judgment on it. If it was moved into trunk, the accessibility working group would be happy to do further testing on it. Though, we are not experts on the Samigo tool.
