Incorrect alias for translated nodes in admin content overview

Problem/Motivation

In the overview of all content in the admin, the alias of the original translation is used for the translations in particular situations. It should be the alias of the translation, not of the original node.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add a new content type
  2. Add a custom field which can be translated
  3. Set the "title" to be untranslatable
  4. Add a node in the original language (e.g. English) and fill in the title and custom field (e.g. "EN") and give it an alias (e.g. "/foo")
  5. Add a translation of the node in a second language (e.g. Dutch) and change the custom field (e.g. "NL") and give it an alias (e.g. "/bar")
  6. Go to the admin overview: /admin/content
  7. See that both the original as the translation have the same alias ("/foo") => this is incorrect
  8. Change the title of the content type to be translatable
  9. See that both the original as the translation have its correct alias ("/foo" for English and "/nl/bar" for Dutch) => this is correct

Proposed resolution

Even if the title is not translatable, it should link to the correct alias.

    Is this only the case for the Title field? If you do the same thing for a field that was added through the UI and link that to the entity, does that work correctly?

    @Lendude, this also happens on custom fields. So any untranslatable field with "Link to the Content" enabled always links to the alias of the default language.

    For example;
    I have one node with two translations ("English" is the original, "Dutch" is the translation) where the fields "Title" and "Identifier" are not translatable, but other fields can be translated.
    I add "Identifier" to the admin view "Content" with "Link to the Content" enabled.
    In the overview both fields of both translations refer to the English node.

    Please note that if you create a node in "Dutch" and then translate it into "English" (so, the original language of the node is not the default language of the site), it will use the alias of the Dutch node. So links on untranslatable fields are always referring to the original translation.

    If you put links on translatable fields, it is working as expected; the link is referring to the correct translation.
