Problem/Motivation

To e.g. implement an alternative page cache that supports language negotiation, you need to know some things without instantiating the config system and other services:

  1. the default language (already a container parameter in core: language.default_values)
  2. whether the site is multilingual
  3. the supported (interface) languages
  4. the langcode mappings

Proposed resolution

  • Also turn 2, 3 and 4 in container parameters, similar to language.default_values.
  • Document langcode.default_values.

Remaining tasks

Review.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

None, only container parameters added.

  • Contributed project blocker

    It denotes an issue that prevents porting of a contributed project to the stable version of Drupal due to missing APIs, regressions, and so on.

  • Documentation

    Primarily changes documentation, not code. For Drupal core issues, select the Documentation component instead of using this tag. In general, component selection is preferred over tag selection.

  • 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!
