URL alias (Translation is not supported)

Problem/Motivation

I installed Drupal and enabled Path and Content Translation modules. I went to the content language config page and saw this:

My thoughts: This makes no sense... Translation for URL aliases is enabled. But it is not supported. Maybe I should disable it since it is not supported? But it was enabled by default, so I guess it is safer to leave it like this.

To be sure that isn't something I made wrong, I installed Drupal with demo_umami profile. Same result.

Proposed resolution

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Questions

Could anyone please explain why it currently works like this?

    I have this same problem in Drupal 10.1. Actually, my custom paths no not work, and I think it is a translation problem.

    I had other problems that might be related, but I don't know where to go to look. When I looks at custom fields in entities, there were errors saying that they could not be translated because there was a language mismatch between the field and the underlying storage. Basically, when I started setting things up I had "la" as the language, but when I added some fields I was using the "en" interface, so the fields got "en", even though I had created them earlier "la" storage (I was reusing them in other content types).

    The solution was to use drush to fix the field language:

    drush cset field.field.node.dates.field_type langcode la
    

    Is there a way to check for a language mismatch in the path settings and to fix it with drush?

  • This looks perhaps like a bug report. Can someone verify this on a "fresh" install of latest Drupal version?

    @cilefen, just checked, and am seeing the same message as reported in IS.

    I'm seeing this on D10.3.

    I noticed that if I enable translation on URL aliases, they do work. I can create a French alias for an English URL, for example.

    So it seems maybe the only issue (at least in my case) is that /admin/config/regional/content-language incorrectly shows "URL alias (Translation is not supported)." ... when it apparently *is* supported.
