We are translating our moodle courses in 5 languages. Maybe more will come in the future.

The issue is the 255 character limit of the catalog section name. Since we have to use multilang filter to translate those section titles, we are hitting this lmit all the time.

For fun we did increase the column size to 8000 but realised later that the code has a validation check which is hard coded to 255 characters.

Suggestion is to increase the field length and adjust the lib check accordingly or offer a different way on how to translate catalog section titles.

Attached you will find a screenshot of the latest 4.3 code from github.
