[TYPO3-dev] Content Fallback

[Dr. Ronald P. Steiner]

Hallo,

you are right, language fallback in steps works for FlexFrom partly.
If the entire page has not been translated to the requested language it 
works. If the page has been translated but the FlexForm Content Element 
is not the fall back will go directly to default language.

Will this "advanced language handling" with "multifallback" be included 
in Typo3 4.2 or is it more a project of Typo3 5.0?

greetings

Ron
