Localized fields show empty content even if default language has content set #9402

Describe the Bug.

English Image German Image

Translatable fields do not display the content they use as a fallback, instead they show an empty field. I think it would be better if these fields were filled with the fallback content to make it easier to see which fields have not yet been translated.

Also having to go back up to the top of the admin panel to switch the language environment is kind of annoying. Maybe it would be better if the select would be in the sticky status bar at the top:

Reproduction Steps

  1. Create a localized field
  2. Fill the field with content in the default language
  3. Switch the language environment
  4. The Text in the field will be empty, even though the api is returning the default language content

Personally I think it is easier to spot if it is empty. If you had 100 fields and they were mixed content it would be harder to spot which ones have been localized or not.

I am going to close this for now. If you want to open up a discussion or search for discussions talking about localization that might be helpful. But since this is preference and not really an issue, I am going to close.

Thanks!
