Content in config pages isn't rendered in the correct language

Created on 20 January 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Rich text content is not processed using the language context and so links (via linkit module) or embedded media are not the correct language.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a multilingual site setup using content translation.
2. Create a config page, with a rich text field and language context enabled.
3. Add a block for the config page to a page.
3. Add values for the config page in both languages with a link to a node that's translated.
4. Visit the page in both languages - both will link to the default language version of the node, and when visiting in the non-default language will lead to a 404.

Proposed resolution

Not sure on a resolution, the processed text filters pass in the language of the field being rendered, which as config pages aren't translatable, this is set to und. The linkit and drupal media filters both use the language code passed in to load the right target entity.

Remaining tasks

Figure out a solution.

I've created a MR with a potential fix that seems to work in our case. The preprocess field changes the #langcode property on the render arrays where it's set to the value from the language context of the config page that the field belongs to.

With the MR applied, links to translated content now link to the language version that matches the language context from the config page, instead of the default language of the site.
