TYPO3 Tabs on Page Properties

Question

on the page properties in the main language are 7 tabs. On every translated page there are just 4 tabs. The "behavior" tab for example is hidden or missing. On this tab there is the field "link target" which I need in one specific project.

Is there a way to show this specific tab or just the field link target?

Thank's in advance for your help.

Answer 1

You will need to update the palette ( TCA - table configuration array ) for the pages_language_overlay table and add the field. On top of that, you might need to configure the translation overlay for the link field.

For that you have to adjust the settings for the installation.

Answer 2

So I figured out how it works, but I am pretty sure I did way too much. Anyway, it may help someone you facing the same challenge:
