Not tried this myself yet... but isn't there a check-box on the document type editor where you set a flag indicating that the field is editable by culture?
If that's not ticked, think it'll be disabled as you are seeing.
As @Andy says - on the Document Type you need to specify which properties can be translated. This is done by editing the property and toggle the "Allow Varying by culture" in the bottom of the modal.
Only default language is editable?
I have a test website setup with Umbraco 8.
On this I have setup three languages:
(English is fallback for each of the two other languages)
But when I open a page in other languages than the default one it is not editable - same goes for side by side view.

Any one else experiencing this?

Hey Andy, Sorry - forgot to mention that in the original post.
I am using the Umbraco Sample site data and have already ticked the "Allow varying by culture" check -> https://cl.ly/8f62ee4de457
The doctype inherits from the doctype Content Base - this has also been ticked for varying by culture
You're almost there, you need to choose for the properties themselves if they can vary by culture as well!

Hope this helps!

@Sebastiaan - thanks - I did not have that before I enabled "Varying by culture" on the doctype itself.
@Niels - a combination of Andys and Sebastiaans solutions worked :)
Thanks all - #H5YR
