this pull joomla/joomla-cms#7490 made by @brianteeman brought changes in the administrator interface strings. The same pattern needs to be applied to Weblinks. See:
Yup. Thanks. Weblinks was affected partially by some of the changes because weblinks categories use com_categories
um - is it a known issue that install from web fails on weblinks
Error
Unable to find install package
Actually the language issue with categories is NOT with the weblinks component. Unlike all the other core components which have their OWN strings for categories.
com_weblinks uses strings from com_categories.
I can update com_categories in core - I didn't do that originally as it would effect all 3PD that do it that way but I probably should?
Oh oops I dont have the rights to close it on this repo so can someone else please
As you wish
@brianteeman We have weblinks in the issue tracker (http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/weblinks) so if ACL is correctly set up you'd be able to manage from there.
I will submit a PR here for web links if you want - I didnt touch web links in the core as I wasnt sure how it was working. I guess if I submit a PR here for web links then it can be "backported' to core as we still have the language files in core?
