inIn Joomla 3.9.20, I created a custom front end template. Inside I have the language folder with various languages in this format. 

For German (example):

/templates/mytemplate/de-DE/de-DE.tpl_mytemplate.ini

They all work, however for English the strings are not read

/templates/mytemplate/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_mytemplate.ini

I have to put my customscustom strings inside the language site root folder to make it work. My default language is it-IT.

Is this a bug?

To make things weirder, while using only the language folder inside mytemplate, if I remove a string for another language it defaults back to my custom English strings! So basically it works indirectly when using another language with missing definitions but not directly when in English.
