When you have several languages enabled, you get the following Content path text fields (at /admin/config/search/path/patterns) for each content type:

  • Default path pattern for Foobar (applies to all Foobar content types with blank patterns below)
  • Pattern for all language neutral Foobar paths
  • Pattern for all English Foobar paths
  • Pattern for all French Foobar paths
  • Pattern for all German Foobar paths
  • …

(see attached screenshot)

It would be helpful if these would be visually grouped.

Why?
It's hard to get an overview; you always have to read each label carefully (language name and content type name do not stand out). The list can get pretty long if you have several languages and content types, which makes scanning/scrolling harder.

How?
Some ideas:

  • a fieldset (with visible border) and legend = Content type name
  • indent (margin-left) all text fields except the first ("Default path pattern for Foobar")
  • a div with a simple border

Title: "Content paths" UI: group per content type when using i18n » "Content paths" UI: group per content type (for multi-lingual sites)

FYI, this is the issue for the introduction of the current interface/functionality: #208860: Add per-language patterns for multilingual node types

Having multiple entry boxes for the alias patterns on admin/settings/pathauto would make an already confusing page even more confusing. That doesn't seem good.
