I need to export the language overrides which i set in the joomla 3.8 admin. I couldn't find any option at extensions->languages->overrides and i also couldn't find the overrides inside the database. Searching this topic wasn't helpful. Where are the language overrides stored and how can i export them?

Like all languages strings, overrides are stored in .ini files in language directories:
/administrator/language/overrides/
/language/overrides/

Here is the exact code (github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/…) that takes care about saving. They are stored in eg.
/administrator/language/overrides/en-GB.override.iniand/language/overrides/en-GB.override.inifor English language. Shouldn't be hard to find. Jul 24, 2018 at 7:57 -
indeed, somehow i expected them to be saved in the database. But it makes sense of course to save them as file inside the language folder.– rhaugerJul 24, 2018 at 9:31
