Description

Problem/Description¶

Would it make sense

to hide all language/localization/translation specific formEngine fields
in the backend
if only one language is defined within the site configuration for the actual pagetree

Benefits¶

From a UX perspective, this could be a real benefit. The TYPO3 integrator override this functionality for example via TsConfig or a siteConfiguration setting. Actually it was not really possible to hide those specific fields, as these are necessary even if you have only 1 language.

What to do with records which don't have a correct language¶

We can show them in the page module in a different area for example: "These records have a language set whicih is not configured in this page tree"

Same goes for the list view module.

the only drawback I see is that it will also remove the "all language" selection. a possible use case could be that someone wants to create content for a site which will get more languages in the future.

Therefore such feature should be possible to deactivate via TSConfig or any equivalent stuff
