[TYPO3-dev] Locallang labels with a dot

[Rik Willems]

Dear all,

For a project I came across an extension that used dots (.) in the 
locallang labels. This meant I could not override the values through 
Typoscript setup. I assume this is because of the Typoscript to array 
parsing that is done.

I think there are many more extension that have this problem besides 
this one extension so I thought it'd be worth a post here.

How do we best handle this? I think there are generally two options:
1) Don't just dots in the locallang labels.
2) Don't parse the _LOCAL_LANG.xx part of Typoscript setup to an array 
but just as is.

(1) will change nothing in the short run. (2) will change how Typoscript 
is being parse for ages. What do you think?

Cheers Rik
