LTI Tool: fix multilingual exercise titles in the LTI Platform/Moodle (gradebook grade items and activity titles)

[PasiSa]

Not sure if this is something to be fixed on A+ side or MyCourses side (or both), but I noticed the following peculiarities when adding an A+ activity and related gradebook behavior:

• On multilingual courses, the task label appears at MyCourses in raw format, e.g.: "8.1 |en:Round 2, exercise 1: If-statement - Temperature|fi:Kierros 2, tehtävä 1: If-käsky - Lämpötila|" for one task on Y1 course. Some parsing would need to be done to pick one of the language versions (not sure at which end)
• After adding the above, I manually renamed the task to "Round 2, exercise 1" in MyCourses
• Now gradebook has columns for both "8.1 |en:Round 2, exercise 1: If-statement - Temperature|fi:Kierros 2, tehtävä 1: If-käsky - Lämpötila|" and "Round 2, exercise 1". The former shows as "Manual item" and latter as "External activity"
• When I submit a solution, the grades appear on the first column, even though it should not even be visible after renaming the activity

When retesting this issue this week, we couldn't repeat the problem related to extra gradebook columns, so it seems to remain mystery for now. However the titles in multilingual courses are still a problem.

Remember that Moodle stores these two separately in different database tables and that the A+ LTI Tool controls them separately:

1. activity names shown in the course section pages,
2. grade item titles in the Grades section (Moodle gradebook)
