Allow config translation for locked languages

Created on 9 September 2016, almost 8 years ago
Updated 1 February 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/motivation:

Allow translators to translate every configuration, but don't give them access to the original config.

For example: A field is created with original translation en. The translators can translate the configuration in other languages, but unless they have manage field access they will not be able to edit the English label. We don't want to give translators access to the field settings because they can alter or delete the field.

Proposed solution:

Set the language for every configuration to zxx and allow config translation to be translated against the non-applicable language.

The patched attached removes the access restriction for locked language config translation.

    (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.

  • Needs tests

    The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.
