ContentTranslationHandler::entityFormAlter() has code that forcibly overrides the title of the edit form of entities, providing either a 'Create translation' or a label with the language attached. This is probably intended as a feature but it silently overrides and ignores whatever the developer sets as _title or _title_callback when creating a translatable custom entity. There's no documentation that I could find that mentions this.
Having this forced title means that TitleResolver (either the stock one or one the developer creates) is never called for this route, completely removing any usual way for the developer to determine the title for these forms.
public function entityFormAlter(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, EntityInterface $entity) {
...
// Adjust page title to specify the current language being edited, if we
// have at least one translation.
$languages = $this->languageManager->getLanguages();
if (isset($languages[$form_langcode]) && ($has_translations || $new_translation)) {
$title = $this->entityFormTitle($entity);
// When editing the original values display just the entity label.
if ($is_translation) {
$t_args = ['%language' => $languages[$form_langcode]->getName(), '%title' => $entity->label(), '@title' => $title];
$title = $new_translation ? t('Create %language translation of %title', $t_args) : t('@title [%language translation]', $t_args);
}
$form['#title'] = $title;
}
I would see some benefit in adding the language code or name to the existing title but very certainly not overriding it behind our back, without any chance of altering or disabling this behavior.
Remove this whole override, or make it optional and opt-in.

Hi, If this problem was discovered on a version of Drupal that is not 11.x, add that information in the issue summary and leave the version at 11.x. In Drupal core changes are made on on 11.x (our main development branch) first, and are then back ported as needed according to the Core change policies → . Thanks.
