Problem/Motivation

#2494959: Add translation integration → added support for translating referenced entities along with their 'parents'. This works well, except that it breaks the IEF widget when a new 'parent' entity in a non-default language is created.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Drupal 8 with IEF.
  2. Make sure there are two content types, both translatable. Their languages must be configurable in their forms.
  3. Add an entity reference field to one of the content types, targeting the other type.
  4. Configure the ER field to use the Complex IEF widget.
  5. Add a node of the type with the ER field. Change the language to anything else but the default language, and add a new entity reference value.
  6. Confirm that the form does not appear. No errors are shown or logged.

Proposed resolution

Make TranslationHelper::isTranslating() return FALSE if the entity the form state is for is new.
