Important: Selected projects are translated in free fallback mode 

Description 

The Projects (selected) content element lists the project pages an editor picks in Selected projects to display. The backend stores such a selection as uids of the default language pages, so the query that fetches it does not restrict the language, otherwise nothing would match on a translated page.

On a site language with fallbackType: free , TYPO3 switches the overlay of records off. The default language project pages the query returned were therefore rendered as they were, and a German page listed the English titles of its projects.

The query now switches the overlay on for such a selection before it drops the language restriction, the same way EXT:academic_persons treats a selection of profiles. A selected project is rendered in the language of the page.

Impact 

On a site language with fallbackType: free , the Projects (selected) content element shows the translation of every selected project page that has one. TYPO3 v12 and v13 behave alike.

The Projects content element, which lists the project pages below its starting points, and the other fallback types are not affected.

Affected Installations 

Multi-language installations with a site language that uses fallbackType: free and a Projects (selected) content element.
