TYPO3 Core

Solution:
Before displaying the Translate button, check not only for untranslated content elements but also whether the permissions of the user are sufficient to translate them or not.

I tried the following test with TYPO3 9.5.8

Prerequisites¶

• Fresh TYPO3 Installation
• Three languages configured: Italian (Default), English (ID=1), French (ID=2)
• a BE usergroup (Editors)
• a BE user (Editor) assigned to Editors
• on the ACL of Editors
  • give full permissions (all tables, all fields
  • allowed languages > set only Default and English

Test execution¶

• Create a page "Test", translate it in English and French; fill some content in default language
• make sure that "Editors" can access and edit it
• switch user to "Editor" and go to "Test"

Results¶

• Page module > "Languages" view
  • the dropdown next to "Languages" only shows Default and English
  • Only Default and English "columns" are present
  • The "Translate" button allows me only to translate to English

I repeated the test with 8.7.26, with the same results.

Is this sufficient? Am I missing something? Is a different test required?
