Hi Koha Community

We've noticed a recurring problem across a bunch of our Koha libraries in the last couple of months. When a new Koha package is installed, for example a minor point upgrade, sometimes our additional translations break in a weird way.

Many of our libraries have en-NZ (English New Zealand) and mi-NZ (Māori) installed, as well as the default en (English) obviously. They'll typically have en-NZ selected as the default language for their OPAC and staff interface.

We'll notice the translated templates are broken because we'll search for a system preference like OPACUserJS or OPACUserCSS and it can't be found in the system preferences. This breaks other displays or features across Koha because it can't seem to access system preferences in the translated templates.

Usually the fix is some annoying process like:

1. Uninstall all languages
2. Restart services
3. Install chosen languages again
4. Restart services
5. Update languages
6. Restart services

Then our system preferences will show again.

Is there something that we're missing in our deploy process or something we need to do to fix this? Translations should auto-update whenever the package is installed so I'm not sure why this is happening and would really appreciate some advice.
