Important: #106649 - Default language binding in layout module

Description

The Content > Layout module now always uses default language binding (mod.web_layout.defLangBinding) when displaying localized content in language comparison mode.

Default language binding makes editing translations easier: Editors can see what they are translating next to the default language. It also prevents confusion when localizations are incomplete. Editors can directly see which content is not yet translated. This improves the user experience in the backend for multilingual sites, which was also a result of recent "Jobs To Be Done" (JTBD) interviews.

Note

The "Content > Layout" module was called "Web > Page" before TYPO3 v14, see also Feature: #107628 - Improved backend module naming and structure.

Impact

Editors will now always see the content elements next to each other within the Content > Layout module when in language comparison mode.

Migration

Because default language binding is now always enabled, the previous Page TSconfig setting mod.web_layout.defLangBinding is not evaluated and can therefore be removed.
