Language fields

New in version 13.0

When using the language type, TYPO3 takes care of generating the according database field. A developer does not need to define this field in an extension's ext_tables.sql file.

Changed in version 13.3

The TCA column sys_language_uid will be created automatically if the setting languageField was made in the original TCA definition. See also Auto-created columns from 'ctrl';

This field type displays all languages available in the current site context. Outside of the site context it displays all languages available in the installation.

A special language All languages is automatically added.

The according database field is generated automatically.

EXT:myExtension/Configuration/Overrides/someTable.php

<?php

$GLOBALS['TCA'][$someTable]['columns'][$someLanguageField] = [
    'label' => 'Some language field',
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'language',
    ],
];
