V14 Doesn't respect the allowed language in the content editor

[rsoeteman]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

14.2.0

Bug summary

Given an Editor that is allowed to edit the Dutch Language only

I would not expect that this user can see and select the English version of the Content item.

See above

Steps to reproduce

• Create the Duch Language
• Ensure a document type can use this langiage
• Create the a usergroup and assign the Duch Language only
• Create a user based on above group
• Login a s the user

Hi there @rsoeteman!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @rsoeteman

Thanks for the report. The allow language setting gives write permission to a language. A user can still read the content for all languages, but not update, publish, etc. When it was introduced pre-14, it was decided to do it this way so a user could still read the language they should translate from.

The read-only UI has been reintroduced in 14.3.
