Good afternoon,
I tried with Firefox and Version: 5.1.4-rc1.
Somehow it is a bit mysterious to me.
After compiling, some translations are missing, having a look in the translation dialog it says all is done, and in the db it also seem to have all translations done.

Strange is still the way the languages are displayed, I am pretty sure that this was different in 5.1.3 stable. I don't know if I can install it back to test over the RC?

@dormasta Thank you for your patience while we investigated this.

After further debugging and review, we identified the root cause of the issue in JCB's language translation handling. A misconfiguration in certain translation-related fields-introduced during recent updates-caused filters to stop working correctly. This, in turn, led to incorrect language loading behavior, including duplicate entries and broken translation detection.

The bug was not present in JCB 5.1.3 (stable). It was introduced during the alpha phase of 5.1.4 and unfortunately went unnoticed at the time.

We have now corrected the affected field configurations and related logic. As a result:

Language filters now work correctly again
Duplicate language loading has been resolved
Translated components display as expected
Related filtering behavior has been restored

A fix is included in the upcoming release.

Thank you for your persistence in reporting and helping track this down - it played an important role in resolving the issue. Please keep an eye out for the next release, which will include this fix.

If you notice anything further, feel free to report it.
