What's new on PLC Gym

This is where we tell you what's new on PLC Gym. Nothing gets emailed or pinged for these, it just lands here and in your bell.
The first one is about knowing when something's happening. When someone tags you or replies to you in the Locker Room, the top bar lights up with a count, phones get a bell in the header, and your home page tells you who it was and where.
If you're in a class, you get a welcome made for your class, a straight path to the work your lecturer has set, and a clear finish to each mission telling you what to do next. You'll also hear when new work is set or reviewed, and lecturers hear when work comes in.
And if notifications ever refused to switch on for you, the site now explains the Brave setting that blocks them and the steps to allow them on an iPhone.

Owner★ 2·Two new ways to learn the code as you go.
Before each of the first ten missions there's now a short New idea card. It teaches the one bit of code that mission needs, and you can try it straight away on the real simulator.
You can also click any line of code or any rung and get a plain English explanation of what it does, in Siemens, Rockwell or Beckhoff.
If you use the code converter, it now handles a lot more real programs, and it tells you about anything it had to change rather than changing it quietly.

Owner★ 2·Two things this week.
When we've got news for everyone, you'll see it now: a note in your bell, a megaphone on the Locker Room and a banner on your home page, which you can close once you've read it.
And if you use PLC Gym in another language, it reads properly now. Coaching has its own name in every language (Clases in Spanish, Kurse in German, Lessen in Dutch and so on), and we went through every page clearing out the English that was still hiding in the translations, mission check results included.
If you spot anything that still isn't in your language, post it here and we'll sort it.
