I assume its using getRecordsOverlay? Thats seem to be my problem.
Currently we're just create a new record and set the language to 
English, so there is no connection to the default language record.
What would is the correct way to do this?

We are using sys_language_mode = strict and sys_language_overlay = 
hideNonTranslated but a change from strict to content_fallback or 
disabling it completely wont change anything.

I assume a possible solution would be using something like this within 
fluid:
$where = '(sys_language_uid IN (-1,0) OR (sys_language_uid = ' 
.$GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_language_uid. ' AND l18n_parent = 0))';

I will give it a try when localization works so far.

Thanks for your fast feedback!
