Hi Phil,
welcome to the forum ans thanks for your kind words.
Regarding your problems:
1) Is a behavior we have implemented while experimenting with xml parameters - this will not be present in some future version.
2) This is a bug which has been resolved - see below..
3) Well this is something that is more a feature than a bug
we worked hard to get the language files incorporated - now they are coming up even if they're not needed - sorry.. will be fixed - I promise
Feel free to test the latest version which is attached to a forum post here:

Thanks for your bug report
Happy coding,
Nikolai
