Drupal 8.2.7
Paragraphs 8.x-1.1

Step to reproduce:

1. Create a paragraph type called "Accordion" with title and body text fields
2. Create a paragraph type called "Accordion group" with a paragraphs field of type "Accordion" and no other fields
3. Create a content type using an "Accordion group" field
4. Create an English node with an Accordion group containing an Accordion. Enter "English" in the title and body.
5. Translate the node to another language, change "English" to "translated".
6. Check the English node.

Expected result:

English node contains "English".

Actual result:

English node contains "translated".

Workaround:

Add a dummy "Dummy to fix translation" text field to the "Accordion group" paragraph type, and enable its translation. You can now translate the fields.

    Oh Jesus, workaround == life saver!! Found out, it's already enough if you simply select the published field of the parent paragraph bundle to be translatable under /admin/config/regional/content-language.

    Shit, the "workaround" introduces another major downer: The first time after the workaround you add a new paragraph item in the original language all original language paragraph items get synced to the translation language again, replacing the translations. After that it's fine. It's just the first time this happens.
