@nicksavov can you add test instructions?

Both strings are in the lang files for 2.5.x too.

Interesting, so it's probably just the strings don't get translated.

I'm not sure how to replicate it, but I'm guessing if you:

• take http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/19817/161193/Joomla_2.5.27-Stable-Update_Package.zip
• unzip it
• modify https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/2.5.x/administrator/components/com_admin/sql/updates/mysql/2.5.24.sql so that there's a broken SQL statement
• zip up the Joomla package
• then install it as an extension

Hopefully you'll be able to replicate it.

OK, this should work to replicate it:

• In _extensions table, change the files_joomla extension from ID of 700 to another available ID.
• Install http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/19817/161193/Joomla_2.5.27-Stable-Update_Package.zip in extension manager.

The same thing should be applicable for Joomla 3.

@nicksavov hmm i get a error 500 if i do so.

Can you paste the language files that are loaded?

For me all looks ok as it is loaded.

Interesting. What are the exact steps you took?

sorry @nicksavov for the late response.

I have done the following this steps:

• In _extensions table, change the files_joomla extension from ID of 700 to another available ID. (700 -> 1700)
• Install http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/19817/161193/Joomla_2.5.27-Stable-Update_Package.zip in extension manager.

--> Error 500

• take http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/19817/161193/Joomla_2.5.27-Stable-Update_Package.zip
• unzip it
• modify https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/2.5.x/administrator/components/com_admin/sql/updates/mysql/2.5.24.sql so that there's a broken SQL statement

• zip up the Joomla package

Thanks Tobias! OK, I'm gong to go ahead and close it, until I can find some steps to replicate it or if someone else can. Thanks again!
