Problem/Motivation

\Drupal\Core\TypedData\TranslatableInterface::language() says:

Returns the default language.

But what does default mean?

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityNG returns the language of the currently active language. In terms of code:

$entity_ng->getTranslation('xx')->language()->id == 'xx';

\Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigEntityBase returns the langcode key of the configuration entity, which is always the langcode of the original, untranslated language. In terms of code:

$context->set('locale.language', new Language(array('id' => 'xx')));
$config_entity->language()->id == 'en';

Proposed resolution

Make this consistent. The current behavior of EntityNG is the saner one, so we should adapt ConfigEntityBase accordingly. Also, the documentation of the TranslationInterface::language() should be updated. It is not very helpful currently.

API changes

ConfigEntityBase::language() returns the language that matches the current locale override.

    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!
