[TYPO3-dev] Extbase: translation handling

[Alexander Bigga]

Hi Cornel,

first: which version of Extbase/TYPO3 do you use? That's ovious to you
but not for the reader ;-)

I remember, that I had similar problem with the localization of parent
elements (categories) in slub_events in Extbase 4.7. That's why I do it
the dirty way in my getParentUidLocalized() method inside the
CategoryRepository.

https://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-slub_events/repository/changes/trunk/Classes/Domain/Repository/CategoryRepository.php

Maybe this inspires you ;-)

Best regards,

Alexander
