Problem/Motivation

When adding an existing piece of content on a new node with a different default language. IEF is changing the language of the referenced content to the language of the parent content

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an article content type that is translatable
  2. Add an Entity Reference to the Article that references other articles
  3. Set entity reference field widget to use inline entity form complex
  4. Create an English Article. NOTE: Do not translate english article
  5. Create a dutch article that references the english article. Do not edit the english article when added.
  6. English Article is now only in dutch. No translation is created.

Proposed resolution

IEF should respect the added node's original language unless that node is edited after added.

    I can confirm this is still issue. I'm on the latest version ( 2.0.0-rc10 ) and our live site is on D 9.5.11, but I tried this out on a fresh install of drupal 10 (10.1) just to make sure it wasn't just the live site.

    IEF works great on English content only, but with other languages (multi-lingual) there are few issues.

    Basic setup - enable tmgmt module (for translations) and Language module (and create another language). Create a Reference to Content to another Content type. Then create a translation, and on the translated page try to add translated node (or new).

    Oberervations --
    If on the "manage form display" configuration page (/admin/structure/types/manage/CONTENTTYPE/form-display) if I switch the widget from IEF complex or simple back to just "Select List" or "Autocomplete" then it points to where it should (translated node in another language) but going back to IEF will switch it back to default language (in my case english)

    On the translated node's IEF complex form, the options to add another item, or "remove" an existing one are missing, but on English works perfectly.

    Would it help to add images or something? I think maybe team knows exactly how to reproduce by now, maybe I can also look into this one and help, but wasn't sure if this bug is being worked on/already fixed. Any updates on this one?
