Make this work with multilingual

When you don't have a translation for a piece of content, the scheduled update works beautifully. Unfortunately, once you add a translation everything really falls apart.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a piece of content without any translations.
Test different moderation state updates.
Observe that they all occur as desired.
Add a translation to that piece of content.

Try to add an update to the translation.
=> It doesn't save it.

Add some type of update to the source node. (I had both source and translation set to Draft and scheduled Published)
=> It saves it and it also shows up on the translation.
Run cron.
=> The update does not happen to the translation.
=> The update does not happen to the source, either.
=> The scheduled update is removed.

Add some type of update to the source node.
Edit the translation and save it without changing anything.
=> The update disappears from the source node.

I've also encountered another error in which I had previously scheduled a transition to draft on the source node. It no longer appeared as an update, though; I believe I had run it already. There is some sequence (which I can't recall how to reproduce) in which I do something like adding a translation and then the scheduled update to set to draft reappears on the source node. I had also seen that if I explicitly remove it from the source node, I can follow some sequence with the translation that causes it to appear again on the source node. Unfortunately, I always get caught off guard when this bug appears and can't recall what I had just done.

Renaming back to original issue title.

For multilingual implementations please switch instead to scheduled_transitions → version 3.

For those still getting use out of lightning_scheduler I am moving the issue I found into a new critical ticket.

thank you Joseph I'm going to try out the scheduled transitions module as an alternative to this one which is not being maintained. (also for a multiingual site)

Yes it's too bad that this module is abandonned, the user interface is excellent , it works well for mono-lingual content except for the critical performance bug which is easily resolved using the mentioned patch.

For multilingual workflows I highly recommend the scheduled_transitions module. It works extremely well.
