Missing translation for the new 'Components menu container' menu item type

[joeforjoomla]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Install an extension such as Virtuemart

Expected result

All values in 'Show or Hide Menu Items' are translated as the standard
Joomla admin menu

Actual result

Only item marked as COM_XXX in the XML manifest file are translated,
none of the XXX are translated

Can you look at this?

Looks like Virtuemart is not using a normal xml

<name>VIRTUEMART</name>
instead of
<name>COM_VIRTUEMART</name>
or
<name>com_virtuemart</name>

which would explain that issue.

I am looking at this now. However I believe that since the language key string comes from the component manifest itself, the translation should still work if written in the extension.

The name don't need to be a translation string it can also be just text. So I think the element is the better choice here 😄

Tested patch and, yes, this PR makes sense and will work in any case.

Yeah right. I'd too choose element against name. Not sure why I did that in the first place.
Patch is good to me. 👍
