TYPO3: How to use disablePrependAtCopy in combination with allowLanguageSynchronization?

Question

My question refers to the default "assets"-TCA-field. For the assets-field allowLanguageSynchronization is set to 'true' and disablePrependAtCopy for sys_file_reference is active.

This configuration works as expected when the content element is translated for the first time. [Translate to XY] is not visible in the translated content element.

However, when I add another image to the content element for sys-lang 0 after the initial translation, [Translate to XY] is visible for sys-lang 1.

How can I stop TYPO3 from adding [Translate to XY] to the metadata fields?

Configuration:

Version: TYPO3 9.5.5

'allowLanguageSynchronization' is set to true:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['columns']['assets']['config']['behaviour']['allowLanguageSynchronization'] = true;

I also disabledPrependAtCopy for assets:

TCEMAIN.table.sys_file_reference {
    disablePrependAtCopy = 1
}

What I tried:

For sys-lang 0: Add image to a content element which uses the assets field (e.g. text-media).
Add metadata for image (e.g. title).
Translate content element to sys_lang 1 ([Translate to XY] is not visible as expected).
Go back to sys-lang 0: add a second image to content element and save the changes.
Switch to sys-lang 1: metadata of new file now contains [Translate to XY] -> How can I prevent that?

You need another TCEMAIN setting here. Try the following code

TCEMAIN {
    translateToMessage = 
}

if this does not work, maybe you can disable it by this code

TCEMAIN {
    translateToMessage > 
}
