Similar patches to #9739
When the field categoryedit is used, the list of categories will now display the language code (xx-XX) when it is not set to "All" languages.
To test, for example, edit an article and click on the Parent field.
You should get:
Although the field categoryparent is not used in core (should it be tagged as deprecated?), it may be used by third party extensions. I therefore also modified it the same way.
To test, change in /administrator/components/com_categories/models/forms/category.xml the field name "parent_id" from
<field
name="parent_id"
type="categoryedit"
label="COM_CATEGORIES_FIELD_PARENT_LABEL"
description="COM_CATEGORIES_FIELD_PARENT_DESC"/>
to
<field
name="parent_id"
type="categoryparent"
label="COM_CATEGORIES_FIELD_PARENT_LABEL"
description="COM_CATEGORIES_FIELD_PARENT_DESC"/>
This patch, imho, is more important than #9741, although I see the usefulness of #9741.
In an ideal world, both would be useful, but the dropdown width is so narrow that I am not sure we can add both the id and the language in the list.
In any case, we can merged this series with the language and decide later if displaying also the id in the 3 fields concerned if OK.

With respect to general government ( in Italy 23% of the sites is made in joomla ) it is more rare to have a site in multi - language. While it is very common to have multiple categories with the same name. I think it is good to keep them both.
