What I meant with bringing it in sync is move the languages added to Language.class over to MyLanguage.module in its current state. and adapt them to work there.
What you describe in 1) and 2) is an entire different thing as it means throwing what I wanted to sync out of the MyLanguage.module, which makes a lot of sense.

I had a look at it and tried to wrap my head around it. I think don't know enough of the ins and outs of how all hangs together in the IDE.
There are multiple calls to parts of MyLanguage.module made all over. And I think more changes that what you suggest above are needed to make it all come together.
I'm lacking the bird-eye view to make that happen, so, I leave this up to the grandmaster of Gambas and I will definitely study the resulting code.
