Official Language Pack Patch for WebsiteBaker [WebsiteBaker 2.13.8]
This is a critical patch that updates all core language files for the 22 supported languages.
What problem does this solve?
This patch fixes a significant bug introduced in a recent version where special characters (specifically apostrophes) in language variables were escaped in a way that is correct for PHP but incompatible with JavaScript. This resulted in JavaScript errors on the frontend and in the backend, for example in confirmation dialogues ("missing ) after argument list").
This update corrects the issue at its source by replacing all problematic characters in the language files with their safe, typographically correct equivalents.
Who needs this patch?
This patch is highly recommended for all users of WebsiteBaker [WebsiteBaker 2.13.8], especially if you or your users operate the backend in any of the 22 core languages.
Installation Instructions

Download Files: Download the language patch archive (language_files_complete_v4.0.3.zip) and the unzip.php script to your local computer.
If you downloaded unzip.php.zip, rename it to unzip.php.
Upload Files: Upload both the language patch archive and the unzip.php file to the root directory of your WebsiteBaker installation on your webspace (the same folder that contains the config.php file).
Run the Script: Open your web browser and navigate to the script, for example: https://yourdomain.com/unzip.php.
Extract: The script will automatically detect the language patch archive. Follow the on-screen instructions to extract the files.
Cleanup (Important): For security reasons, ensure the checkbox to "delete the archive and the unzip.php script after successful execution" is ticked. This is the default and recommended setting.
Done: Once the script reports success, the patch is installed. The language files are now corrected. We recommend clearing your browser cache to ensure the changes take effect immediately.
Installation is simple and is done using the unzip.php utility.

After installation go to Add-ons -> Advanced, activate the checkbox for Languages and reload the new files, the go to the info-window (i-button in top-menu) and cleared the translation cache (important!)
