ignore localization of images for text w/image in TYPO3
A short one. TYPO3 is amazing when (amongst other things) it comes to localization of website contents. The documentation is quite good to around the subject, which is quite rare when it comes to TYPO3 otherwise. However, today I had totaly forgotten how to, or even if it was possible to, only localize the text part for text w/image elements. After some reading I found this great typoscript key
