language_content_entity=LANGUAGE_CODE is being appended to each link

For some time now, as indicated by the Linkit project page → , the 8.x-5.x branch of Linkit is not undergoing active development. It is also only compatible with unsupported versions of Drupal core (Drupal 8 and Drupal 9).

To help the maintainers of the Linkit module better steward tasks under active development, I'm going to mark this issue as closed (wontfix). Sites using 8.x-5.x can certainly continue to do so, but should make plans for updating to the latest supported version of Linkit.

Even better: Drupal core will soon provide link autocomplete suggestions in CKEditor similar to what this module does. Sites using or considering using Linkit should follow this core issue ✨ Drastically improve the linking experience in CKEditor 5 Needs work to evaluate whether they can use the core solution instead of Linkit. See feature differences below to compare what Linkit includes that will not initially be in Drupal core.

If this issue relates to a problem or feature request that is applicable to the latest supported version of Linkit, please create a new issue, associated with that branch, describing the bug or enhancement.

Thanks, community, for you collaboration and consideration!

The OP said:

I have reproduced this with both latest 8.x-5.x and 6.x releases.

So I'm reopening this and labeling it for 6.x. I am presently experiencing this issue on 6.1.5 so I'll be posting a patch shortly.

I've opened a MR that makes the canonical substitution language neutral, by default. I don't know if this will work in all circumstances, but it works for session language detection.
