[#37442] - Language string COM_CONTACT_EMAIL missing from com_contact.ini
- New
- Medium
- Build: 4.1-dev
- # 37442
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Go to Global Configuration -> Component -> Contacts -> Icon panel
- Set Settings drop-down list to Icons
- Select any picture for Custom Email Icon
- Create a contact, add every contact datas (name, address, email, etc.)
- Display the created contact using any kind of template (preferable Cassiopeia) which doesn't use template override for the file "components/com_contact/tmpl/contact/default_address.php"
- Check the alt text of the selected image of email
Expected result
Alt text should display the word Email instead of the key CON_CONTACT_EMAIL of the missing lang string.
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla! 4.1.2., but earlier versions are also affected.
Additional comments
Lang file "com_contact.ini" needs to be updated & translated with a new string COM_CONTACT_EMAIL="Email"

It seems to me COM_CONTACT_EMAIL is used in /com_contact/src/View/Contact/HtmlView.php only.
None of those icons should have an ALT description at all as they are purely decorative so they should be alt=""
@brianteeman Well, then #36976 was pointless, and both
components/com_contact/tmpl/contact/default_address.php
and
components/com_contact/src/View/Contact/HtmlView.php
...must be edited/fixed too, plus we can remove the already added lang strings from _com_contact.ini used by these 2 files, I guess.
On the other hand: ALT can be helpful (decorative img or not), as that can be used if something went wrong with the images - e.g. you are using an img file with space(s) in its name: just test it, it will produce invalid SRC value in IMG tag (another bug BTW in HtmlView.php).
@DelPoint this is an abuse of the alt text, unfortunately it was used this way in the past.
Today we know that Alt texts give information for blind users, they are read by screen readers.
No blind user must hear an announcement like "image DGB-78589980988-int-1000x456.png".

Hm. Looks like this is a duplicate of #36957.
