      Setup

      1. Login as Admin
      2. Navigate to Site Administration > H5P > Manage H5P Content Types
      3. Upload the attached accordion.h5p file to the "H5P content type" field
      4. Click the "Upload H5P content types" button

       

      Test 1: LF format

      1. Log in as admin.
      2. On Moodle, ensure that the default language is set to English (en).
      3. Open the file h5p/h5plib/v124/joubel/editor/language/en.js
      4. Change the "end of line sequence" to LF and save the file. On VS Code or Notepad++, you can easily change this from the status bar, located at the bottom.
      5. On Moodle, purge Language strings and Javascript caches.
      6. Now access the Content bank and add a H5P Accordion content.
      7. Confirm that all strings are correctly displayed. You should not see any "missing translation" messages.

       

      Test 2: CRLF format

      1. Log in as admin.
      2. On Moodle, ensure that the default language is set to English (en).
      3. Open the file h5p/h5plib/v124/joubel/editor/language/en.js
      4. Change the "end of line sequence" to CRLF and save the file. On VS Code or Notepad++, you can easily change this from the status bar, located at the bottom.
      5. On Moodle, purge Language strings and Javascript caches.
      6. Now access the Content bank and add a H5P Accordion content.
      7. Confirm that all strings are correctly displayed. You should not see any "missing translation" messages.

      We were getting "missing translation" errors for several language strings when adding/editing H5P content in the content bank.

      We could reproduce this issue in Moodle versions: 3.9, 3.10 and master.

      Others have reported it as well here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=406288

       

      We tried uninstalling/reinstalling language packs, purging all caches, uninstalling/reinstalling H5P contenttypes/libraries, upgrading Moodle versions, but the issue would still persist.

      Upon further investigation, we found that the issue was caused by the different line ending format in the language files (en.js for example) in:

      h5p/h5plib/v124/joubel/editor/language

      Line endings in Unix is LF, in Mac is CR and in Windows is CRLF.

      The following line in function parse_js_array(string $jscontent) in h5p/classes/helper.php

      $jsarray = preg_split('/,\n\s+/', substr($jscontent, 0, -1));
      

      is considering LF (\n) only when parsing the language file. If the line endings are in another format, then the language strings are not correctly parsed and you get the missing translation error.

      Replacing the files in h5p/h5plib/v124/joubel/editor/language and purging cache correctly parses the H5P lang strings.

      I think the code fix would be to consider all line ending formats when parsing the file.

      The following change in function parse_js_array(string $jscontent) in h5p/classes/helper.php fixes the issue.

      $jsarray = preg_split('/,[\r\n]\s+/'substr($jscontent, 0, -1));
      

       

      Steps to reproduce this bug
      Log in as admin.
      On Moodle, the default language is set to English (en).
      Open the file h5p/h5plib/v124/joubel/editor/language/en.js
      Change the "end of line sequence" to CRLF and save the file. On VS Code or Notepad++, you can easily change this from the status bar, located at the bottom.
      On Moodle, purge Language strings and Javascript caches.
      Now access the Content bank and add any H5P interactive content.
      You will see several "missing translation" messages.
