I don't understand what you are trying to achieve.. I have installations that currently are not working as is. New installations don't fix that. Hack or no hack, how can I make the Dutch language gets forced to load again, but now as it stands it just displays the English language. Which I don't want. I have a testinstallation where it also doesn't work. I don't care about new installations I care about the current ones.

The point of a clean installation is to verify where the problem is. Did you check if the Dutch language files actually contain anything? Transifex (from which the language files are autogenerated) may fail sometimes and result in empty language packs.

Look. I have tried everything previously, and the previous "hack" did fix the issue. Now unfortunately Joomla changed the libraries code and now the same hack is not useable again. It results in PHP errors.

I am just asking if you or anyone else know a new line of code which make it work again. The language files are fine, it's just something in the installation itself why K2 doesn't want to load in the language. If you don't know I am better off asking it somewhere else. Because I previously had got the solution here I asked it here.

IT IS NOT A K2 THING. This is what I'm saying. The QQ thing was added by Andrew Eddie in Joomla 1.6 for whatever reason (my guess is to THEN make porting J1.5 language files to J1.6 easy).

Found the solution:

parseIniFile() in libraries/src/Language/LanguageHelper.php.

In this file is the method defined. So you can use the same hack Krikor did to make it work again.

Regarding italian translation that has the same problem, i confirm that's still related to _QQ_.
I cleaned the traslation file using the english version as model and now it's working fine.
But the one on getk2.org is still corrupted.

Gabri, you may want to consider joining the Italian translation team here www.transifex.com/joomlaworks/k2/ and improving these strings you mentioned as they are no longer present in the source language files of K2.

I just uploaded my updated file to transifex, but i saw that were already other correct translations in the history, for that file. Transifex seems to use an old version with the QQ problem.
Don't know now if it'll use my version for the translation package.

If you override them, it will. If you don't have permissions, request team admin access and I'll approve it (via Transifex).

Hello Fotis,
so I come back with this lanugage issue as well: in my case, it's the german language.
The language files for the k2 component in the backend and in the editing layout in the frontend are not used.
I set up a fresh joomla 3.9.13 with K2-v2-10.2 and have
- de-DE.com_k2.ini in language/de-DE
- de-DE.com_k2.dates.ini, de-DE.com_k2.ini, de-DE.com_k2.menu.ini and de-DE.com_k2.sys.ini in administrator/language/de-DE
The frontend-files are used and could be overwritten, but the component-files are not used ;-(
Could you help, please?
(btw: I am absolutely happy using K2 since a few years and quite a few projects. This issue is not new to me, but now I need it to work, because my client needs the german translation...)

There are a couple of German translation packages. Did you try both?

Yes, I tried both with no change: no translation to german in the component...

Hello,
just figured out that in joomlas control panel the translations of k2-items (the quick-icons and the menu-items) are translated to german – but only there. In all other joomla backend-items the translations in components/k2 are gone...
Still the same on the blank test website.

According to this www.transifex.com/joomlaworks/k2/ there are 220 strings untranslated.

Hello Fotis,
unfortunately, that's not the point. If we figure out, what is wrong with the translation files, I will be pleased to bring the translation to 100%...
But: Something is wrong inside the K2 component, because it does not use additional language files (0% !). Look at the screenshots:
1: control panel – everything is in german
2: K2 Items view - the translations are gone, even in the menu (screenshot made in the same installation after clicking "k2/items")
3: K2 Item editing – no translations for k2, notice that Tiny-Editor is in german
So, how to solve this?
I could make this test installation on my server and send you access, but I am sure you will have this error in a new (!) installation with additional language files, too.

I just tested this and you're right. I even tried to force-load the German language file and... nichts :)

But since we're not custom loading language files and the German language pack for K2 seems complete enough for the backend, it *may* be a new Joomla bug introduced.

Can you check some other component please for which you're loading a separate language pack?

OK, found the issue.

It's \\"_QQ_" that is causing issues. That (very old) hack for using double quotes breaks the language file parsing.

If any of you guys has access to the German team on K2/Transifex, please replace all such instances of \\"_QQ_" with an escaped double quote: \"

I'll send a message to all language maintainers on Transifex as well.
