Summary20287: The Attribute advanced setting category for questions is not unset for languages other than English.
Description

The Attribute advanced setting cateogry is only unset if the page is displayed in English (or likely also if the translation of the word Attribute happens to also be Attribute).

The exact issue in code is in application/controllers/QuestionAdministrationController.php on line 2424: unset($advancedSettings['Attribute']);
Since the category name (Attribute) is translated at this point, it remains in the advanced settings list. See steps for reproducing below.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

  1. Ensure that you are using LimeSurvey in a language other than English. French, for example.
  2. Attempt to edit a question in a survey.
  3. Pay attention to the list of advanced setting categories on the right hand side.

Expected result

The Attribute (Attribut in French) setting category isn't added to the list. Mind you this is the case when English is used (see english.png).

Actual result

The Attribute setting category is displayed in all languages where the translation of the word "Attribute" doesn't match "Attribute". See french.png.
