just installed and uninstalled chronoforms v8 on my j3 install running php 8.0

all was perfect before

now every button throughout entire joomla admin area, has no label 

like it cant see language file?

I did not test v8 on Joomla 3, but I think you should use it on Joomla 4 or 5 only, for Joomla 3 you can use the J3 version of Chronoforms v7

Great, this proves it does work on J3, I did not work on J3 for sometime.

I'm glad you got it fixed, I do not know why the admin language was removed, extensions installers should not have any effect on the Joomla system language file.
