TYPO3 Core

I tried the following test with TYPO3 9.5.8

Prerequisites¶

• Fresh TYPO3 installation with three additional languages:
  • Italian (Default)
  • English (ID=1)
  • French (ID=2)
  • German (ID=4)
• All the languages are configured in "Sites" Module
• BE usergroup with
  • ACL: all fields, all tables selected
  • Limit to Languages (allowed_languages): select only English and German
• Be user, assigned to the previous BE usergrop

Test Execution¶

• create a "Test" page
• translate it into all languages
• create two content elements in Default language
• translate only the first content element into all languages
  • I always used "Translate" mode
  • I always used Default as "starting" language
• make sure that "Editors" can see and edit the page
• switch user to "Editor"
• go to "Test" page

Test Results¶

in Page > "Languages" view

• the Editor can see Default, English and German "columns"
• The Default "column" cannot be edited, no "pencil" visible;
  • this is also valid if you switch to "column" view: "Default" is selectable, but cannot be edited.
  • you can still edit the page title with the pencil that pops up near it, but it leads to an error (shown twice):

1: recordEditAccessInternals() check failed. [ERROR: Language was not allowed.]

• It is possible to use the "translate" button, but the translation workflow does not complete! It is stuck at step 3 of 4!

I also tried with the following scenarios

• use "Copy" mode instead of "Translate" mode
• translate the first content element in German from English

but the result is the same, the translation does not finish.
