TYPO3 Core

I tried to reproduce the problem on the latest master 8.2-dev in this way:

1) I have 3 languages: Italian(0), English(1), French(2)
2) Upload an image, edit its title in italian
3) create the two translation for the image title in english and french
4) I have a page with all two translations
5) I create a text w/media CE and set the image of point 1
6) create a translation of the CE in english
7) create a translation of the CE in french (start with: italian)

the result is: in all languages, the "default" title is that one of the french translation, at least on the backend; on the frontend, the translation of the title works fine.

Hi, Riccardo.

Thank you for your investigation.
I didn't try it on 8.x yet, but the key thing to reproduce it is to not translate the file in filelist to all languages, but only to some of them.

E.g. in your case:
...
3) create only one translation for the image title (e.g. in English)
...
6) create a translation of the CE in English -> this should be ok and title will be shown
7) create a translation of the CE in French -> this should lead to a result, described in an issue

Reproduced in 6.2. According to Andrea Herzog-Kienast, also on 7.
Didn't try on 8 though.

1) I am not able to reproduce the issue on 6.2.25
2) on both 7.6.9 and 8.2-dev, if I don't add the translation on one language (e.g. french) the title of the image shown on backend... is that of the other translation (english)! It seems that the first available is taken into account (!)

I repeated my previous tests on 9.5.7:

Test 1¶

1) I have 3 languages: Italian(0), English(1), French(2)
2) Upload an image, edit its title in italian
3) create the two translation for the image title in english and french
4) I have a page with all two translations
5) I create a text w/media CE and set the image of point 1
6) create a translation of the CE in english
7) create a translation of the CE in french (start with: italian)

#Results:

Test 2¶

1) I have 3 languages: Italian(0), English(1), French(2)
2) Upload an image, edit its title in italian
3) create only ONE translation for the image title ONLY in english
4) I have a page with all two translations
5) I create a text w/media CE and set the image of point 1
6) create a translation of the CE in english
7) create a translation of the CE in french (start with: italian)

#Results:

I tried also with

7.1) create a translation of the CE in french (start with: english)

but the results are the same

I tried with both these settings in the "Site" module > French language

- fallbackType = strict
- fallbackType = fallback; Fallback to other Language(s) = english

but the result is the same. It seems that the "default" metadata is always taken
