[#45088] - [5.2] Multilingual Sample Data are not updated to the new feature from 5.2
- New
- Medium
- Build: 5.2.4
- # 45088
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Main Dashboard
- Go to the Sample Data module and install the Multilingual Sample Data
Expected result
In 5.2 you are no longer forced to place home menu items for different languages in separate menus. Instead, you can manage all home menu items within a single menu.
Actual result
You get two menus, in my case in English and German

I am not sure. Just because you can now put all the home menu items for each language in a single menu doesnt mean it is best practice to do that and the sample data should be showcasing best practice

Isn't the sense of sample data to see how it could work? This was the reason I did this and was disappointed to see that is still the previous way. Perhaps it would be a possiblity to offer both ways?

That was my reason to open #43989 and i also like to have it included. But i can share the comment by @brianteeman that the sample data have another purpose.
I think if ten times more developers working in their free time on Joomla the situation change.
Can you really say from the outside what best practice is?
Best practice depends on the use case. For example for a smaller website with several languages, it could be easier and clearer to have everything in one menu than to divide it into many menus.
Just because you are not forced to do it doesnt mean that its not best practice to keep each language to its own menu
