When using a view with multiple languages translated content, if you select a node that is different from the interface language, it doesn't update the translated node, but the interface language.
Steps to reproduce
Create a view using some content type that allows translations, translate a node of that content type to multiple languages, and let it be listed on the view you created. Now try to edit the node in a language that is different from the interface language you are using.
Proposed resolution
Change the formSubmit to account for the language from the node that is being modified.

portulacaI don't know if my configuration applies for this issue, I wanted to share info just in case.
I had problems with Views Bulk Edit working on a multilingual site so I tried this patch. It didn't make any difference. Canceling the form works even without this patch, but trying to submit the changes doesn't, with or without this patch.
For me the problem was the required fields, and the patch from https://www.drupal.org/project/views_bulk_edit/issues/3024419#comment-15... didn't help either.
I was able to update my nodes by changing all the Required field options apart from Title (for Title I chose to Append and left it empty).
With that modification to my CT config Views Bulk Edit works, even without the patch above, to update all the node translations, the current interface language node and all the others as well.

parisekWorking for me, thank you

farse commentedI've created a new patch as the original only updated the first translation in the row if there were more than 1 translation, this should update all the selected translations now.
