[TYPO3-templavoila] Localizing Labels in beLayout

[G.Unger]

hello list

to keep the topic up and running, here my thoughts (which I already 
exchanged with ron directly). I thought I post them here as well so 
s.b. might jump in

as I am no extension developer, just a typo3 site builder my thoughts 
might be as we would say in germany 'stabbed from the back through the 
eye into the chest'.

when I outsource the beLayout into a seperate html/tmpl file into the 
skin, I can put ###fields### not only below the label, but even into 
the label ... eg.:

	<div id="tvFeatureContentTab" class="tvContentTab">
		Feature
	</div>

becomes

	<div id="tvFeatureContentTab" class="tvContentTab">
		###field_feature###
	</div>

and there is a positive rendering in the tab.

so why not create fields for the labels as TypoScriptObject
then assign them TEXT types and the values are populated by 
TS-Constants, which themselves should be wrapped in TS conditions for 
BE languages.

as said a thought of 'stabbed from the back through the eye into the 
chest' and really around 5 corners, there must be an easier way, but I 
can imageine this might work as long as it is possible to to create in 
TS a condition on BE-user-language. maybe an intermediate 
workaround-and-round-round-round-round.

I haven't tested this yet ... end of week and really busy here ... but 
as soon as I find a minute I will check this out.

if meanwhile anybody had the TS code for a condition of backenduser 
language, that would help, as I am not sure if it is possible and would 
have to look this up first.

rgds,
GUIDO
