Pull Request for Issue # .

Summary of Changes

This PR improves the robustness of Joomla’s language cache handling. Currently, if a language cache file is only partially written (e.g., due to low disk space, write interruption, or unexpected I/O failure), the corrupted cache file will remain on disk. On the next request, Joomla attempts to include this broken file, which may lead to PHP errors, warnings, or unexpected behavior.

This PR introduces safer handling of such scenarios by:

• Removing the corrupted cache file immediately when the write operation fails, ensuring Joomla does not load an invalid cache file in future requests.
• Logging the failure so administrators can see errors from log if needed.

Testing Instructions

I could not find an easy way to make this operation fail on normal condition. So you can just perform simple test below:

• Use Joomla 6.0
• Apply patch
• Delete language cache folder (administrator\cache\language)
• Access to your site again, make sure there is no error
• Check language cache folder (administrator\cache\language) and make sure the cache files still being created as before.

Works, with potential errors if cache file is partially written
