[TYPO3-english] How to show translated textpic element but with image from the default language?

[Tobias Liegl]

Hi,

I'm using the classic page module and FLUIDTEMPLATE for a website (no 
TemplaVoila). The website is available in german and english - with 
german as the default language.

In the default language there is a textpic element. When translating 
this element, I want to translate the text only, the image should be 
taken from the element in the default language - except when there is an 
image in the translated element.

In the ext_tables.php I added this setting, so the image from the 
default language won't be copied to the translated element. This works fine!

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['columns']['image']['l10n_mode'] = 
'mergeIfNotBlank';

In the frontend I see the normal textpic element in the default 
language. But on the translated page I only see the translated text - no 
image from the default language.

I tried it with adding this setting, but nothing changed.

config.sys_language_softMergeIfNotBlank = tt_content:image

What am I missing here? Any ideas?
