[TYPO3-mvc] Correct way of creating language overlay records

[Matthias Krappitz]

Hi,

is there an official way, to create language overlay records for custom 
records in an extbase extension? I have several records in my extension and 
some of them needs to be localizable by frontend forms. So is there at least 
an official programmatical way to do this in extbase? I already tried 
writing getters for sys_language_uid, l10n_parent and t3_origuid and setting 
values as needed for an overlay, but Extbase does not persist those fields, 
all values remain zero. Or even better, is there a way to do this using the 
fluid form viewhelper and its object / property binding?

Best Wishes
