Typo3 9: Second Language shows content of both translations with Fallback Mode

Question

I've got a Homepage where I have two languages:

• German (Default)
• German easy (Second "Language")

Most of my pages have a translation for german easy , but some don't, which is why I activated the Fallback Typ Fallback Show default language if no translation exists , at first it seemed to work, since it showed content from the default fallback language german , but when I opened up pages where I have a translation to german easy as well, I see content from both languages on the page. This problem only occurs when I open the page with german easy if I open the page with the default language, it only shows the content of that language.

I really don't know what kind of bug that is, or what its causing. I posted a screenshot of my settings and further below the settings of my config.yaml and the setup.typoscript, if that might help anyhow.

Btw, if I turn the fallback type to strict the bug doesn't occur, but then again pages with no translation don't work.

    renderCharset = utf-8
    sendCacheHeaders = 1
    uniqueLinkVars = 1

    // Disable image upscaling
    noScaleUp = 1

    // Compression and concatenation of CSS and JS Files
    compressCss = 0
    compressJs = 0
    concatenateCss = 0
    concatenateJs = 0
}

Anyone has an idea what causes this bug or how to fix it?

Answer 1

In the site-config you've to use the fallbackType: free and set your fallback language, in this case german (ID = 0 ), as fallback.

-
title: Deutsch_vereinfacht
enabled: true
base: /de/
typo3Language: de
locale: de_DE
iso-639-1: de
navigationTitle: Deutsch_vereinfacht
hreflang: de-DE
direction: ''
fallbackType: free
fallbacks: '0'
flag: de
languageId: '2'

Then only the translated content is shown and in the navigation all not translated pages will be shown as well in the fallback-language
