# Known problems {#known-problems}

The following issues are known problems. However those are either not fixable inside EXT:news or not too easy to solve!

## Category images on root page {#category-images-on-root-page}

Due to restrictions of the File Abstraction Layer (FAL), it is not possible to add images to categories which are
saved on the root page (uid 0). Documented at [http://forge.typo3.org/issues/57515](http://forge.typo3.org/issues/57515)

## Multilanguage {#multilanguage}

The strategy of Extbase is currently quite simple. First records are fetched and afterwards an overlay is added to get the correct translated data. Problems can be:

-   sorting by a translated field is not possible
-   Translation of FAL records, see [https://forge.typo3.org/issues/57272](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/57272)

## DBAL {#dbal}

Extbase does not fully support DBAL, therefore it might be that things fail!

## Versioning & Workspaces {#versioning-workspaces}

It is not possible to create a version in the frontend by Extbase. As long as the versioning happens in the backend, everything should be fine.
