Language Translation Files Quarantined – WordPress automatic updates

[Easily Confused]

[Topic has been merged into this relevant Topic]
I believe that WP’s automated translation updates are being quarantined by BPS Pro. Could you please confirm and, if so, advise how this can be avoided?

admin-hu_HU.po and admin-hu_HU.mo files are in quarantine. I have not upgraded WordPress. They are infected? What shall I do? delete or restore?

One more question:

1. They can be infected or not?I think they cannot be, because not executable file. But please confirm.

@ Zsolt Edelényi – I doubt that po and mo files would be infected since they are not php files, but if you would like for me to check the mo and po files then send them via email to:  info at ait-pro dot com so I can check them out,

I am running Sites for Germany and Switzerland. Those have WordPress Translations. As soon as these translations get updated, I encounter “AutoRestore|Quarantine Alert!!!”. How can I easily prevent those warnings and the quarantine?

/home/mygermansite/public_html/wp-content/languages/admin-de_DE.mo 
/home/mygermansite/public_html/wp-content/languages/admin-de_DE.po 
/home/mygermansite/public_html/wp-content/languages/de_DE.mo 
/home/mygermansite/public_html/wp-content/languages/de_DE.po

The quarantine I encounter is not by a plugin or theme but by WordPress itself not running in english and having translations. I encounter quarantines for _CH and for _DE files. How can I whiteliste those?

Hi

since I upgraded to WP 4.6 I don’t get anymore the “AutoRestore (ARQ) Automatic Shutdown & Backup Notice”

And it looks like it is always turned on

Language update, for example, doesn’t work and I get the files quarantined. So to update language files I have to turn manually off Autorestore, launch the update and then I can turn again autorestore on

Is it normal?

@ stefano – See the solution in this same Forum Topic here to exclude the /languages/ folder from being checked by ARQ: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/language-translation-files-quarantine-wordpress-automatic-updates/#post-20116

BPS Pro 12+ versions use new AutoRestore AJAX Automation for WP 4.6+ versions.  See the links below for more detailed information.  In general, ARQ Automation is improved in BPS Pro 12+ versions and does not require displaying an ARQ message for most ARQ AJAX Automation.  The language files issue is a known older issue and the solution in the link above is just to exclude the /languages/ folder.
