Publish Dates not usable in additional language

Description
The feature "Publish Dates" is working fine in the standard language of the installation but is greyed-out in another language.
This happens on independent content and is not a problem of inheritance.

Hi Tobias,
This is apparently by design, although the intent can be question. Indeed the TCA of tt_content has the following:
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['starttime']['l10n_display'] = 'defaultAsReadonly';
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['starttime']['l10n_mode'] = 'exclude';
which means that the field should not be included in translations at all (l10n_mode = exclude). I'm not sure why this was designed this way, but it's easy to override. Just do
unset($TCA['tt_content']['columns']['starttime']['l10n_display']);
unset($TCA['tt_content']['columns']['starttime']['l10n_mode']);
in your extTables.php file (or some other ext_tables.php if you put your customization in a separate extension) and it should work. Does that help?
This problem was already discussed here #32252 and was introduced here #24211

Andreas, thanks for the history. I'll try to look into that.
Thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenience!
I also think I remember we discussed disabling certain fields where, for practical reasons, only the default-value is taken into account.
Though it might make sense to show a translated element in a different translation/language at some other point in time :-)
