J5.x:Fix broken extension translations after 20231101

From Joomla! Documentation

Errors Reported

After applying the Joomla 4.4.1 or 5.0.1 updates, language files of 3rd party extensions might not render correctly.

Versions Affected

General Information

This was reported in Joomla 4.4.1+ and 5.0.1+ versions.

What is the Cause

This is caused by a security fix that changes the way how language ini files are parsed. The new method does not allow line breaks within a language string.

How to Fix

Check the extension translation file for linebreaks in language strings and remove them.
