Follow up for #1810386: Create workflow to setup multilingual for entity types, bundles and fields →

Problem/Motivation

The new workflow for translation settings on bundles is great. But both sighted and screenreader users sometimes do not notice a new table appearing when a bundle is checked to enable translation. This happens especially when there are many entity types and/or the bundle types have many fields.

Proposed resolution

See if any of the patterns from the research in #1810386-79: Create workflow to setup multilingual for entity types, bundles and fields → suggest good initial solutions to try.

Remaining tasks

research common pattern for similar situations
implement on proposed resolution
get feedback from manual testing in browser
get feedback from accessibility point of view / using a screen reader

User interface changes

Work in progress. Nothing specific proposed yet. (new or changed features/functionality in the user interface, modules added or removed, changes to URL paths, changes to user interface text)

API changes

No api changes anticipated.

Usability
Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

Accessibility
It affects the ability of people with disabilities or special needs (such as blindness or color-blindness) to use Drupal.

Needs manual testing
The change/bugfix cannot be fully demonstrated by automated testing, and thus requires manual testing in a variety of environments.

translatable fields

D8MI
(Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.

Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!
