Please hang on here. I thino for v14 the plan was to ensure "locallang.xlf" files wilk be english.

Did you try if it all works properly also when using language domains?

I don't want to encourage this usage unless we're very certain.

I would like to invole Benni Mack for this, but he's not available for this at this time.

Right now the fallback for e.g. de-AT is:
de-AT.locallang.xlf --> de.locallang.xlf --> en.locallang.xlf --> locallang.xlf
As 'en' and "default"/"base" are the default fallbacks.

As long as there is en in the default fallback chain, we can not really introduce the use of en.locallang.xlf.

Why is the fallback of de.locallang.xlf en.locallang.xlf?

Should be de.locallang.xlf -> locallang.xlf. That would be fine in my opinion.

Once we have decided on the actual wording we will merge and backport #6340, closing this one so there is no discussion in two threads and no conflicting texts merged. Please move to the PR on main with your discussions everyone.
