Language overrides with 4.4.1

Post by joomberto » Mon Dec 11, 2023 4:04 pm

Hi!

I'm having problems with language overrides. Before the update to 4.4.1 you could mark the key value with a single quote ('). Now it doesn't work and sometimes even breaks my form. Now I need double quote (").

Does anyone know if this version brings any changes in this regard? I don't see anything in the changelog.

Thank you!

how are you creating language overrides - in the (Language) Overrides component in J4? I don't know what you mean by "mark the key value with a single quote.". ???

According to the language file document, double quotes are necessary in language definition files. The security fix released in Joomla 4.4.1 and Joomla 5.0.1 changed the processing of language files and that also affects language overrides.

Starting from Joomla 4.4.1 and 5.0.1, hard linebreaks are no longer allowed. The quoted value has to be just one line. Any linebreaks, the characters called CR/LF in ASCII code tables, invalidate the whole language file.
