User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
As we all know, if one clicks on the title of an article displayed in a featured menu item, the url obtained is quite weird when the new Router is implemented.
Until now, when installing Joomla as multilingual with data, the home menus are featured menu items.
Summary of Changes
When "Install Localised Content" is set to Yes, this PR changes the default home menu item to a blog
If "Install Localised Content" is set to No, the home will still be a featured menu item (remember: no specific categories or articles are created).
In both cases, It also adds a hidden menu item of type "List All Categories".
Testing Instructions
Make an installation with "Install Localised Content" set to Yes and then set to No in another installation.
Make sure you enable "Experimental" in Articles Options=>Integration
Verify the menu items created and the urls obtained. Below with Localised Content installed
Expected result
We will now get for the article displayed in the homes, urls of type
http://localhost:8888/en/article-en-gb
instead of
http://localhost:8888/en/?view=article&id=1:article-en-gb
Careful though before testing:

I have been revising documentation for Joomla 4 and noticed that installation of the Multilingual Sample Data creates a hidden Categories menu item in the menus for each language. I can't find where that is used. Leaving it out seems to make no difference. It is not mentioned in the Joomla 3 documentation. Can anyone explain what it is used for? And where it is referenced in the code?
