Why such a change? This was changed recently to avoid prototype pollution.

Because it cause error in mathtype manual test (inside wiris mathtype lib).
On objects created this way (Object.create( null )) there is no hasOwnProperty method so if we create language ui by using define mathtype throws error when trying to read language because they use hasOwnProperty.

I agree with @niegowski comment. This part of the code is responsible for preventing prototype pollution, which is also flagged by code scanners. The change is fully intentional. Bypassing security measures just to apply a bugfix isn’t a good practice. It’s better to fix this on the side of the library that relies on this behavior.

imho, this comment could be clearer. Two things:
- It sounds like
global.window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONSis always set byCKEditorTranslationsPlugin, but that’s not true. It can also come from translation files loaded from a CDN, so we shouldn’t assume it always comes from the plugin. - Without reading the issue (#7297), it’s hard to tell what the problem is and why this
ifis needed. The comment should explain it in a more straightforward way.
