Attention

TYPO3 v7 has reached its end-of-life November 30th, 2018 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

Permissions

You can restrict backend users and groups to edit records only in specific languages. The permissions are enforced over all tables by checking the language defined in the "languageField" of the table. The "Limit to languages" setting is found in the "Access Lists" tab:

Setting language limitations

Restricting backend users or groups to one or more languages

Settings from groups and sub-groups are all added together.

If a user has no "Limit to languages" checkboxes set at all he can edit all languages .

Regardless of "Limit to languages" all users can edit records with "[All]" language.

Setting "Limit to languages" is not only good to protect translators from editing other languages or default content - it is also helpful to limit the confusion a user might have when faced with modules displaying translations for a host of other languages!
