TYPO3 Core

You have to set a shortcut mode in the translated content element.

Thanks - this works fine.

The second page-language was pagetype 'standard' while default-language pagetype was 'shortcut'.
This looks like an upgrade issue to me. I fixed this.

But the generated link should - imo - have at least an href-attribute which should point to the page itself as it was a standard page in second language and should therefore link to itself.

So users would be able to point to another page in different languages (p.e. some-parts-are-of-this-site-are-only-available-in-german) or present other content for each language.

I'm having this problem after updating from 4.5.22 to 6.2.14. The hint with updating the shortcut_mode to 1 at the translated entry in the pages_language_overlay didn't solve the problem. I'm still not getting an anchor tag when rendering the HMENU in my second language.

Here is some more information:

I'm setting the languages like this:

[globalVar=TSFE:type=0]
...
    seite.config {
        linkVars = L
        sys_language_uid = 0
        language = de
        forceTypeValue = 0
        htmlTag_langKey = de-at
        locale_all = de_AT
    }

    ...
[global]

[globalVar=TSFE:type=1]
    ...
    seite.config {
        linkVars = L
        sys_language_uid =  1
        language = en
        htmlTag_langKey = en
        languageTranslationnummer = 1
        locale_all = en
        forceTypeValue = 1
    }
    ...
[global]

And the menu looks like this:

mainmenu = HMENU
mainmenu.entryLevel = 0
mainmenu.1 = TMENU
mainmenu.1.itemArrayProcFunc = user_main
mainmenu.1 {
    noBlur = 1
    expAll = 1
    NO = 1
    NO {
        ATagParams = class="helvetica-light" 
        allWrap    = <td valign="bottom" style="padding-right:28px;">|</td>|*|<td valign="bottom" style="padding-right:28px;">|</td>|*|<td valign="bottom">|</td>
    }
    ACT < .NO
    ACT {
        ATagParams = class="helvetica-light active" 
    }

}

menuSeperator = TEXT
menuSeperator.value = <div class="menu-seperator"></div>

[globalVar=TSFE:type=1]
mainmenu.1.NO.allWrap = <td valign="bottom" style="padding-right:28px;">|</td> |*| <td valign="bottom" style="padding-right:28px;">|</td> |*| <td valign="bottom" style="padding-right:24px;">|</td>
[global]
[globalVar=TSFE:id=1]
menuSeperator.value >
[global]

Sorry, I don't understand your setup.

You have a condition for the type parameter, but you do not set the typeNum on the "seite" content object.
You define a different language for each type.

You're actually running two different sites in different languages (distinguished by type), but you manage them in the same page tree.
To be honest, I've never seen such a setup before.
I need to think about such a setup and which implications this has for the menus.
