Problem/Motivation

Field Group uses Config translation to localize labels and descriptions. However, this mechanic is difficult to discover for site builders as indicated by created issues:

Proposed resolution

Resolve blocking issues described above. Add documentation how to translate field group labels and descriptions.

Remaining tasks

  1. Solve: πŸ› Entity view/form mode formatter/widget settings have no translation UI Needs review
  2. Solve: #3173509: When a config field is a textarea. the translation field should also be a textarea. β†’
  3. Add a documentation page to drupal.org, or include instructions in a readme file (or both).

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

  • And yet years later and this "simple" issue is still not officially solved. I am translating a site and knocking my head off the wall once with an "ago" instance that I cannot find where-to anywhere and now with this field_group thing, just to name a few. It seems Drupal still has a long way to go to say it's a reasonably "fully" ready multilingual CMS.

    That is not really a productive comment.

    Instead of venting frustration you could have put your energy in figuring out what the status of #20 is, and set this issue to "Needs review" or something like that, so that it gets noticed by the maintainers.

    Hi, I want to note that the workaround does not work with custom entities that have field groups in them.
