Trying to get property of non-object

[swingywc]

Step to reproduce:

1. I created two languages in Languages table, Traditional Chinese with code hk and Simplified Chinese with code cn.
2. Add two files resources/lang/cn/home.php and resources/lang/hk/home.php with following structure:

   <?php
   return [
   'title' => 'hello there',
   ];

3. Go to Site texts table, try to read the result in Home tab.
4. Crash with below section error.

Error encountered

Trying to get property of non-object (View: /project/ifinance-web/vendor/backpack/langfilemanager/src/resources/views/translations.blade.php)

in line 64:

<h4><?php echo e(trans('backpack::langfilemanager.language_text', ['language_name' => $browsingLangObj->name])); ?></h4>

I try to debug with {{ dd($browsingLangObj) }} before that line and found out that it is null.

Please help me, thanks :(

Should the $browsingLangObj change to $currentLangObj too? I am confused.

[swingywc]

Found out that in config/backpack/crud.php there are no hk or cn language code to use.

There are two solutions:

1. Increase languages table abbr length and Lanuages rules to allow language code like zh_Hant_HK, zh_Hans_CN etc.
2. Make custom languages code in config/backpack/crud.php, i.e. hk and cn.

My current solution is rebuilding project and use solution 2. @tabacitu should it allow typing language code more than two character? referencing issue #1

By the way, closing issue.
