TYPO3 FAL translation fails in Extbase Extension

Question

I'm using TYPO3 7.6.14 and my Website is bilingual 'english' and 'japanese'. My editors translate all english content, also FAL-Metadata for images, like 'description', 'alt-text' and 'title', s. screenshot.

The whole page is translated, only the FAL-data from images fails (s. screenshot). I don't know why? Do anyone see my fault? I am grateful for any help because I simply do not know what it is ... Thanks.

Here's the TCA

...
'additional_information' => array(
            'exclude' => 1,
            'label' => 'LLL:EXT:products/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_products_domain_model_product.additional_information',
            'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
                'additional_information',
                array(
                    'appearance' => array(
                        'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
                    ),
                    'foreign_types' => array(
                        '0' => array(
                            'showitem' => '
                            --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
                            --palette--;;filePalette'
                        ),
                        \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_IMAGE => array(
                            'showitem' => '
                            --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
                            --palette--;;filePalette'
                        )
                    ),
                    'maxitems' => 10
                ),
                $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']
            ),
        ),
...

and the Fluid-Template (s. caption: photo.originalResource.properties.description)

<f:for each="{product.additionalInformation}" as="photo" iteration="iterator">
          <div class="column">
          <a class="lightbox2" href="{f:uri.image(src: photo.originalResource.publicUrl, width: 1024)}" data-lightbox="{product.uid}" title="{photo.originalResource.properties.description}">
          <f:image src="{photo.originalResource.originalFile.uid}" alt="" />
            <span class="caption">                                            {photo.originalResource.properties.description}</span>
             </a>
       </div>
</f:for>

Try to replace <f:image src="{photo.originalResource.originalFile.uid}" alt="" /> with <f:image image="{photo}" alt="" />.

It can be that FAL translations a not properly supported. Please have a look at the news extension from Georg Ringer. If it is not working there, then it is not working at all.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I was looking at News `FalMediaImage` we have `{mediaElement.description}` ... but I try ... `{photo.description}` == NULL, no image and not the right description. – user2310852 Mar 31 '17 at 20:40
If you have not image in photo, then you have another bug altogether. – pgampe Mar 31 '17 at 21:00
`{photo.originalResource.publicUrl}` gives me the filename of the images. So I've thought `{photo.originalResource.properties.description}` for image description, and it works. But the translation handling is wrong. No japanese Image description is showing .. – user2310852 Apr 01 '17 at 07:35
If `{photo.originalResource}` is not null, then `{photo}` cannot be null either. – pgampe Apr 01 '17 at 17:03
Hi pgampe .. I think there's a TYPO3-Bug. [https://forge.typo3.org/issues/57272] and the problem is still known ... aargh! I have to wait to `TYPO3 v8` .. that's not good. – user2310852 Apr 04 '17 at 07:17
It is not fixed in 8 LTS. – pgampe Apr 04 '17 at 13:48
that's a huge problem .. I know this FAL/Translation error from `tx_news`. So I don't translate the Data record and create two sys folders (en+jp). – user2310852 Apr 06 '17 at 05:50
At the moment you can use one folder. You need two separate data records for two languages. Do not fill out the field `original file` ('Ursprungstext'). Then it works. I hope the problem will be fix in `TYPO3 8 LTS`. – user2310852 Apr 11 '17 at 06:22
