TYPO3 Core

The “language” menu on top of the content element is missing the possibility to create [NEW] translations out of every language selection you have chosen.
Translation is only possible on the default language.

This behavior appears since Typo3 Core 7.6.13.
I guess the fix for Bug #72797 has caused this issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1) have 15 languages (default language is English, ID=0)
2) have a page with 15 languages, go on it, select “languages” view
3) create a new content element in the default language (English)
4) create a translation from this content element in another language, e.g. Chinese

5) now if you want to create the German translation, you first have to switch back to the default language before you can choose “Deutsch [NEW]” because there is no such a option available in the language selection.

I think this step to switch back to the default language is unnecessary and doesn’t have good affects for editorial work in Typo3 backend because in case of bigger content elements this takes a lot of time to switch each time for every language.

--> until Typo3 Core 7.6.12 you’ve got the possibility to create a translation with the [NEW] language selection from every language (not even from the default language).
For example it was possible to create German translation from Chinese content.
