Hide unnecessary links from language switcher viewing untranslated nodes

The core language switcher lists all enabled languages even when viewing a node that is not translated to those languages.

The behaviour I would expect is to hide all the languages that specific node isn't translated to, or make it an option from the language switcher block settings.

For the moment, in case anybody stomps on the same behavior and isn't happy with it, a workaround could be implementing something like this in a theme:

  function THEMENAME_preprocess_links__language_block(&$variables) {
    $node = \Drupal::routeMatch()->getParameter('node');
    if(!$node) {
        return;
    }
    foreach(array_keys($variables['links']) as $lang) {
      if(!$node->hasTranslation($lang)) {
        unset($variables['links'][$lang]);
      }
    }
  }

    (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.
