'TYPO3 language handling: Problems with free mode when fallbackType=fallback
This is my language configuration for my TYPO3 v10 site in site configuration:
fallbackType: fallback
fallbacks: '0'
This works as expected for pages in "Connected Mode". But when an editor creates a page in "Free Mode", the translated page displays in FE both the translated and the default content elements. I do not understand why the content elements from default language are shown here. Is this a bug of TYPO3?

This is a TYPO3 bug: https://forge.typo3.org/issues/90261
There's an extension which fixes this: https://github.com/qbus-agentur/typo3-dynamic-language-mode
Solution 2:[2]
I would consider this a bug. Probably related to https://forge.typo3.org/issues/88965#change-442588 (please add a comment there to bring more focus on this)
But some things should be clearified here anyway:
fallbackTypein site configuration is independent from the translation strategy (mode) used in backendfallbackTypeand the used translation mode in backend are related to contents not to pages- the actual expected behaviour here would be that only contents from the default language are displayed because the way
fallbackType: fallbackworks is: load all contents from default language and then overlay them with translations
