TYPO3 Core

alternative and link field for page-media in the translation shold be translatable by default without editing the tca.

Same in 7.1 and - if I set a link (default language), the link will not work. Not to a page or a url. Also Metadata will not be shown. But perhaps I forgot something in TS.

Same to you?

It´s just the missing of the fields. After activating by TCA all works fine in 6.2.

Tested your patch with TPYO3 7.1-dev today. All fields will be shown, but it is not possible to change the link in the translated file. the link allways uses the link from the default language. But the language parameter is set to the correct language.
Have you tested this?

Yes, works fine in 6.2. Here my typoscript for rendering the translated record:

20 = FILES
20 {
          references {
            table = pages
            uid = 1
            fieldName = media
          }

          renderObj = IMAGE
          renderObj {
            stdWrap.dataWrap = <div class="ad visible-lg" style="{file:current:description}">|</div>
            file {
              import.data = file:current:originalUid // file:current:uid
            }
            altText.data = file:current:alternative
            titleText.data = file:current:title
            stdWrap.typolink.parameter.data = file:current:link
          }
}

My modification of TCA (extTables.php):

$GLOBALS['TCA']['sys_file_reference']['palettes']['basicoverlayPalette']['showitem'] = 'title,alternative;;;;3-3-3,--linebreak--,link,description';

Strange behaviour - tested it with TS. Cleared caches like hell, deleted TS - and everything works fine. Can you please take a look here. File is: "Test metadata in translation" default / "Bild mit übersetzten Metadaten" de

for german: http://typo37.herzogkienast.de/index.php?id=3&L=1

for default: http://typo37.herzogkienast.de/index.php?id=3&no_cache=1&L=0

But your patch is still in use. Only TS is deleted.

You need to save at least once: #57488

OK, bug is in the TCA I think. The original TCA for the pages table has a comment // Use the imageoverlayPalette instead of the basicoverlayPalette just over some extra configuration for the media field.
AFAICS those are missing for the translation table.

Yes, you are right. It's a "useful feature". I don't know how to change the categorization.

The solution with adding the missing field in extTables.php works fine. But is'nt this a bug? I can't see any reason, why the fields "link" and "alternative" are missing in pages language overlay? IMO those fields should be added, as it leads to confusion, when editors are not able to "translate" those fields.

Hi,

does this issue still exists with latest TYPO3 (6.2.15)?

On 6.2.16, I followed these steps:

1) create a page,add an image on "relations" tab, fill the "override" fields: title, alternative text, link, description.
2) translate the page
3) add the same image on the "relations" tab.

Result: only the fields "title" and "description" are available. This is independent from translating or not the media element in list module.

The same happens on 7.6.1 (latest master)
