AfterPageColumnsSelectedForLocalizationEvent

The PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Event\AfterPageColumnsSelectedForLocalizationEvent is available to listen for after the form engine has been initialized (and all data has been persisted). It will be dispatched after records and columns are collected in the \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Page\LocalizationController.

The event receives:

The default columns and columns list built by LocalizationController
The list of records that were analyzed to create the columns manifest
The parameters received by the LocalizationController

The event allows changes to:

the columns
the columns list

This allows third-party code to read or manipulate the "columns manifest" that gets displayed in the translation modal when a user has clicked the Translate button in the page module, by implementing a listener for the event.

Example
