Problem:

• you have a Typo3 site with several languages
• you are using the media field in the page setup to show a header image or similar (under “Files:” in the page setup)
• you are using levelmedia in the typo3 template setup to put this media somewhere on the page
• the header image (media in general) is not shown in languages other than the default one

Solution:

• go to the install tool of your Typo3 site
• search for “pageOverlayFields” under “All Configuration”
• take out “media” in the list of fields under [FE][pageOverlayFields]

That’s it. Please keep in mind that ALL media now will be taken from the media field of the default language.

Thanks to just2b at TYPO3.net for mentioning the solution.
