Because we had some issues with language handling and starttime/stoptime, I made some tests with different configurations and TYPO3 versions. These are the results, perhaps they are usefull for someone else, too.
### TypoScript:
config.sys_language_overlay = 0
config.sys_language_mode = strict
### Page-TsConfig:
mod.web_layout.defLangBinding = 0
# since 7.6
mod.web_layout.allowInconsistentLanguageHandling = 1

I didn't find an issue on forge for Configuration 1, Test 06, 08, 14 and 16 (everything the same). Any hints? And, for our usecase, Configuration 4 with TYPO3 7.6 would match best. But only if I can solve the ERROR in Test 11 and 12. Are there any chances to make this work?
