Multilanguage bug in copy content element
0%
Description
Although plugin or sitemap content element dont use the bodytext field, when copy them with the button "Copy default content elements [x]" to another language, the bodytext field get filled with the useless hint "[Translate to {language}:]". After that the backend shows the bodytext field in the pagecontent view but it cannot be edited nor deleted. Last but not least the search finds the text in this bodytext field. Only solution for me was to delete them manually with phpmyadmin, which is really annoying.

The problem lies in the fact (AFAIK) that if the header information is empty, then the info is filled with the bodytext field from the database. And for the sitemap (and tt_news where I found the problem) the info is not used. You can work around this problem by changing the content from sitemap to text, edit the bodytext, and change it back :) -> not nice but works
more solution/ ideas are posible:
1 always use the header info
-> is this what we want for the rest of typo?
2 make a check if the bodytext field is used/needed and if not show the header info
-> more complicated solution
3 only translate fields which are in use?
-> hmmm. I don't know what to think of this...
Maybe somebody has an idea/solution for this... (maybe something to put on the devlist?)
