Good morning,
I'm reading the frontend localization guide from Kasper.
It gives a lot of configuration options, but there's one thing I can't find.
I'm working with templavoila 1.4.2 on Typo3 4.3.2.
For localization I'm using in the data structure configuration:
<meta type="array">
<langDisable>1</langDisable>
</meta>
On a testing page 'languagetest' I have the default language (English)
and added another language (Dutch).
I've made a simple FCE with an image, a title and a link and added it to
the page. I've also added a simple 'build in! Text with image content
element to the page.
When I go to Web -> List -> 'languagetest' I see the pagecontent block.
With 3 headers: Header - [Localization] and Localize to
In the localize to part I see the Dutch language flag where I Can click
and add the dutch translation for the Text with Image content element
and also for the FCE.
If I go to Web -> Page -> 'languagetest' I see, on both FCE and Text
with Image content element, below the default language an extra block
Localizations:
Where the FCE and Text with Image content element translations are.
THE PROBLEM:
I make a new page 'languagetest2' with the same FCE and the same Text
with Image content element.
If I go to Web -> Page -> 'languagetest2'
Below the Text with Image content element I see:
Localizations:
Create a copy for translation (Dutch)
This is 'clickable' and has the same result as like doing it with the
Web -> List way. which is perfect.
On the other hand below the FCE I have nothing. No Localization:
No Create a copy for translation (Dutch)
I think this might be confusing for end users.
Is there a solution, configuration option, to also get the
Localization:
Create a copy for translation (Dutch)
for a self created FCE?
I'm aware of doing the translation inside the FCE with editing the data
structure configuration to:
<meta type="array">
<langChildren>1</langChildren>
<langDisable>0</langDisable>
</meta>
But then you've also got a difference in approach between the 'normal'
content elements (Text, Text with Image, ...) and the FCE.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Kind regards,
