admin/content view should group language variations together when no filter is applied

Problem/Motivation

When visiting the admin/content page with multiple language variations on the same node, the default list is no longer very useful. I could filter by a single language, but this is not ideal in the case I want to have easy accessibility to all the translated nodes at a glance.

Additionally, with translated nodes the titles are usually different making it harder to identify the related default language node.

Proposed resolution

When the list is unfiltered, the default language node should show as the section head of a collapsible list that shows the translated node variations tied to this. I think this would also improve searchability. If you search for a node title in a different language, you would see a grouped list of the related nodes.

  • Usability

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

  • 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.

    Is this something that is still desirable? I think getting this working would be quite the undertaking when combined with other sorting functionality in views, I'm not even sure if it'd be possible. It does look quite nice though.

    Moving to the views.module component as this is not node specific.

    Since there's been no follow up going to close out. Also seems like something that's an edge case if using multiple languages which not everyone is doing. So think this doesn't exactly belong in core but maybe a good blog post for those who use multi languages can follow to setup?
