Translation settings entity form extra field appears to be outdated

Created on 17 August 2021, almost 3 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Content translation defines an extra form field on translatable entity types. In Drupal 7 this extra form field contains the translation status checkbox, but in D8+ it was moved into a new container, so it seems that the translation extra field is outdated, at least from the point of view of Drupal core.

¿Are there some additional usage for this extra field that I was not able to find out? If not, it could be removed since it has no real usage and it is present in form display options of translatable entity types.

Steps to reproduce

In an installation with the content_translation module enabled and some entity set as translatable, go to its form display options.

Proposed resolution

If confirmed, remove the translation extra form field.

The extra field can be used to disable the 'Content translation' in the form display.
I moved the extra field to the new container, I can now disable the 'Content translation' in the node edit form.
