Need to send the locale for the user to the remote tool

This is needed to pass the certification test.

I am not an expert on Moodleness - but this is the code I came up with for 
Locale:

    $locale = $COURSE->lang;
    if ( strlen($locale) < 1 ) $locale = $CFG->lang;

Comments?

Shouldn't the the order of locale precedence be:

1. Course (forced)
2. User
3. System

?

I modded our local code to this:

$locale = $course->lang;
if ( strlen($locale) < 1 ) {
        // The course language is not enforced. Use the user's profile setting.
         $locale = $USER->lang;
         if ( strlen($locale) < 1 ) {
            // No language specced for user. Use the default.
            $locale = $CFG->lang;
         }
}

Which seems to do the job.

Adrian.

Has there been any assessment of this? It doesn't seem right to skip the user's 
language prefs and just go straight to the default. Do I need to open a new 
ticket?
