TYPO3 Core

still present in both 6.2.14 and 7.4-dev (latest master)

Hi Mathias,

no, I would just change the action of the preview button to give a preview of the currently selected language (like when you click preview when editing a localized content element).

But where do we link to?
You can set a language based off almost anything, ranging from GET params to domains or to time of day :)

I will give this some thought, because this is a really tricky thing.

Shouldn’t it reflect the language I am currently editing (language drop down)?

I know, but what is the URL we call in the frontend?

defaultLanguageUrl&L=3

won't work

When I edit a content element in language [1] on page [2] and click preview I will see /index.php?id=2&L=1; why is that not possible when in column editing mode?

Because maybe you did not use the parameter L to switch the language.
Maybe you use a domain to switch the language.
Or you use a parameter called lang or something else.

So simply attaching L=2 to the URL is not sufficient.

Does this somehow get across? :)

Now I got your point :)
When editing translated content you rely on the L param as well; however these cases should be treated the same.

What is the state of this issue?
