the value for media is only available because of enabled 
activateContentAdapter (INSTALL TOOL)
for some reason new fields are not converted.

For all FAL-fields the offical way to access them is to use a FILES 
object (so it is a query more) [1]


And so it works in default language, in the translation the image is not 
available.
my configuration: this logo field only exists in 'pages' (not in 
'pages_language_overlay') as the logo should not been changed in 
translation.
as soon as the new field is mentioned in [FE][pageOverlayFields] the 
system crashes as the new field does not exist in pages_language_overlay.

and also creating the field in pages_language_overlay (and inserting it 
into [FE][pageOverlayFields]) does not solve the problem: only if a file 
is stored in pages_langauge_overlay it can be seen in the translated page.
there is no fallback to the values of the page record (language default) 
if no file is inserted in the translation. so there is no 'overlay' but 
distinct fields.
