Problem/Motivation

On multilingual Drupal site, entities' titles and descriptions on overview pages such as ( Content types, roles, vocabularies, menus, or views ) do not display in the active language but remain in the language they were created in, even after being translated.

Steps to Reproduce

  2. Add content types, roles, vocabularies, menus, or views.
  3. Create titles and descriptions for these entities in one language.

  5. Switch to another language and observe that the titles and descriptions do not appear in the current language, but only in the original creation language.
