[TYPO3-core] RFC #4911: Add an option to add alternative external URL or shortcut for other languages

[Ingo Renner]

Hi all,

This is a SVN patch request

Type: feature

Branches: trunk

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=4911

Problem:
Currently it is not possible to have alternative targets for shortcuts 
and external url page types in translations. This certainly is not a 
killer feature but is needed quite often by users.

Solution:
* Add the fields in question to the pages_language_overlay table
* introduce doktypes for the translated pages as otherwise the newly 
introduced fields would be shown for page types where they aren't 
appropriate
* Add tabs to the "new" doktypes to make the appearance consistent with 
untranslated pages

Notes:
Please especially check how I solved the way how translated shortcuts 
are handled, I'm not completely sure here whether this is the cleanest 
possible way and whether it is in the right place. I could also imagine 
to maybe putting this into a separate function checkTranslatedShortcut() 
or similar. There could also be some implications with other parts in 
the core. However, the way it is solved in the patch worked in my tests.


best
Ingo
