Will not change.

Scenarios

  • Get potential question attribute from core
  • Import question attribute from XML/question theme
  • Add (replace ?) question attribute from plugins
  • Save question attribute value (for all language or not)
  • Load question attributes for question type/question id
  • Load question attributes for question type/question id for a single language (for qanda/QuestionTheme and SurveyTheme)

> Load question attributes for question type/question id for a single language (for qanda/QuestionTheme and SurveyTheme)

If you already can load for all languages, you don't have to load for one language, IMO. Unless the number of languages are > 20, which I don't think happens very often...? Also, this is done via lazy loading through the ORM. I think. (Unless explicitly loading it eagerly.)

For twig : is better to have a single language … {{ Question.i18attribute }} and not {{ Question.i18attribute[????] }}

OK, good point. That's not how it works now?

In QuestionTemplate.php https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/b34f839d202ba0061412b5bd313d08e1d34d3309 yes, but not in QuestionAttribute https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/1891591465f646c51eac8ff4523e91c6343b1d68/application/models/QuestionAttribute.php#L253-L260, then need to remind this point.
