Hi Jörg!
Thanks for the answer, but I don't see this behaviour here.
In my frustration, I have been digging down into the code, and there definitely
seems to be a problem.
AFAIK, magnolia supports both a default language (defaultLocale) and a fallback
Language (fallbackLocale).
The defaultLocale has no immediate impact on the storage model. Data from the
default Locale is still stored to nodes properties with the locale suffix
("articleText_de") appended to the name.
The fallbackLocale seems to have an impact on storage: Data from the
fallbackLocale SHOULD be stored without a suffix. (See code in
info.magnolia.cms.gui.i18n.DefaultI18nAuthoringSupport#i18nIze() )
In my case, however, the data from the fallbackLocale ("de") is being stored
with suffix ("de"), while magnolia is storing the English (in my case NEITHER
fallback nor default) content without its correct suffix ("en").
I think I've found the problem.
Regards from Vienna,
Richard

I never used the i18n support in Magnolia myself, because I have a different
model in mind, but Magnolia has a "Default Language" in its configuration. The
language suffix is never appended for the default.
