[TYPO3-core] RFC: Feature Request #6087: IRRE - Localization of child records

[Ingmar Schlecht]

Hi guys,

what do we do about this one?

I will definitely not have time to review it before feature freeze, but 
it clearly is a patch that does need careful reviewing.

Just one short comment: I don't think it makes sense to introduce a new 
class t3lib_tca for the functions in there. If we introduce new t3lib 
classes, they should have a well thought-out interface.

cheers
Ingmar
