URL language code length in Joomla 2.5
I need to change the language url for the french part of the website to "suits" (found in the language manager under the "content" section). However, the box stops after 7 letters, so the last "s" is cut. I want to change this because websites that have categories set up before so that the French part is indexed by Google and others like that. Is there a way to allow 8 letters in this field?

Try changing the variable maxlength
from file:/administrator/components/com_languages/models/forms/language.xml
<field name="lang_code" type="text"
description="COM_LANGUAGES_FIELD_LANG_TAG_DESC"
label="COM_LANGUAGES_FIELD_LANG_TAG_LABEL"
maxlength="7"
required="true"
size="10"
/>
<field name="sef" type="text"
description="COM_LANGUAGES_FIELD_LANG_CODE_DESC"
label="COM_LANGUAGES_FIELD_LANG_CODE_LABEL"
maxlength="7"
required="true"
size="10"
/>
This is a major change and every time you update your Joomla installation you should check if it is canceled. If you want to create an override, you need a third party plugin .
Good luck!
