kevinB-5	I want some fields to be only editable in the primary language, so I configured them with the option 'copy'. But they are also showing in the secondary languages. When changing them, they get overwritten, which is good. But why are they even showing up in my view?

kevinB-5	Hi Raja, In my opinion the issue is not solved by explaining to me that it's simply too difficult to hide those fields. I need my product to be as clear as possible for my clients, and I can imagine that others also pursue this. So I would really like it if my client doesn't see fields for a secondary language, when they can't be changed. Or at least they should be uneditable.

I am adding this ticket to the developer queue, and marking the status of the ticket as escalated to developers.
