[TYPO3-hci] About the languages

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey team,

I recently noticed (and with the last thread by Patrick) one thing that 
really is starting to annoy me. The languages for the website...

If there is only one language on the website, I still get tons of places 
where I can choose the "default language". I think editors shouldn't see 
this feature AT ALL until someone added another language to the system. 
This way the BE is way cleaner and more usable for editors as around 
2/3s of my projects only have one language. (well, I kind of stated this 
before, I think).
I see several places where this is used. So, first of all we'd need a 
t3lib_BEfunc::getNumberOfLanguages() or a 
t3lib_BEfunc::systemHasMultipleLanguages() function. Based on this 
function we can include checks in all the places we need:

- conditions in TCA for pages, page_language_overlay, tt_content, be_user
- conditions in Backend modules like page module, list module 
("Localization View")
- Any more?

Should be a task of a couple of hours and would be a great improvement 
for 4.3 -- anyone willing to do this task?
