Summary	0037379: Return value plugin_lang_get_defaulted when no default supplied is incorrect
Description	When you call: plugin_lang_get_defaulted( 'test' ); I would expect when plugin_pluginname_test does not exist that i get 'test' back. But instead it returns: 'plugin_pluginname_test'
Tags	No tags attached.

SL-Gundam 2026-09-09 15:53 reporter ~0071428	Currently the workaround is to supply a value for the second parameter: plugin_lang_get_defaulted( 'test', 'test' ) But an easy fix would be: https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/2278

dregad 2026-09-09 18:21 developer ~0071429	I would expect when plugin_pluginname_test does not exist that i get 'test' back. You are correct, this is indeed what should happen - the behavior should match that of lang_get_defaulted(). That's an oversight on my part when I implemented this function (0026747), I did not have a use case for calling the function without a default and so never tested it properly.

MantisBT: master 5a77ea96 2026-09-09 19:08 SL-Gundam Committer: community Details Diff	Fix plugin_lang_get_defaulted() return value When no default value is supplied, function was returning the fully qualified plugin string name (i.e. `plugin_<basename>_<name>`) instead of the expected short language string name ($p_name).
