Should we rename the key json_dotpath too? (f.e. json_dotnotation?

[Alkarex]

Yes, good idea

[math-GH]

Done.
But there are much more "dotpath" attributes/variables

[Frenzie]

I'd keep them as is typical in English, meaning dot notation, not dot-notation or dotnotation.

[math-GH]

@Frenzie I would agree that dot notation is better than dot-notation but I checked via Google the term and dot-notation is used very often.
IMHO: I do not care which one is "better".

Note that the ESLint configuration for example uses dot-notation as opposed to dot_notation or dotNotation but all of those refer to "dot notation".

I think we should update the name of the file app/Utils/dotpathUtil.php accordingly

could we merge this PR first and do the refactoring in another PR? It would reduce double work for the translators :)

[Frenzie]

Fine by me, and better for future git blame really, though I'm not really sure what difference it'd make to the translations?

right now they translate dotted path into their language and not dot notation.
That is the reason why #6313 is waiting for merging this PR first
