Description

The module editing has a language feature. Although I am thankful that such an option does exist, it it not fully thought through. It needs an extension, but one that is extremely easy to implement. Just lift the restrictions a little bit...
/lib/modules/modlib.php has this on lne 889:

Copy to clipboard
'lang' => [
					'name' => tra('Language'),
					'description' => tra('Module is displayed only when the specified language(s) in use. Designate languages by two-character language codes. Separate multiple languages by semi-colons.'),
					'separator' => ';',
					'filter' => 'lang',
					'section' => 'visibility',
				],


Language Id is, according to ISO, not a two character designator (It is, but then you can only select major languages and not sub-languages), but five characters: Two designators of two characters separated by a period. Major and minor...

Example: With just two characters you can only select English as "en" and not specifically, for instance, British English, because that is en.gb... 😊
