Language cannot be "default"

[brianteeman]

In some circumstances (currently shown in #14562) it is possible to save a content item with "default" in the language field which makes no sense as we dont have any meaning when it is saved as "default". As far as I can tell it should always be either "*" or a language code

The offending code is https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/layouts/joomla/content/language.php#L14

we also have 'undefined' which is used when a content language has been deleted and some items were tag ged to it.

so it is jus a matter of changing the lang string. will do pr

Reopening as the proposed PR simply changes the word Default to Undefined which also should never happen. The issue is not the WORD but that you can save an article without any language whatsoever

@Bakual
You created this layout in #12051

I think we just do not need at all that part of the code. It should display "Undefined" when there was a problem saving an item and the language is empty, which is in fact done at the end of the layout code.

My patch changed it to undefined, but we may just need imho to Delete the first conditional.

I just put it into the JLayout because it was used in com_menus and com_modules before my PR:

• administrator/components/com_menus/views/items/tmpl/default.php
• administrator/components/com_modules/views/modules/tmpl/default.php
• administrator/components/com_modules/views/modules/tmpl/modal.php
• administrator/templates/hathor/html/com_menus/items/default.php
• administrator/templates/hathor/html/com_modules/modules/default.php

I just assumed there was a reason for it without checking further.
"Undefined" works for me for sure, just remove the first conditional and it should do that.

OK, will make a specific PR.
