Follow up for #1831530: Entity translation UI in core (part 2)

Problem/Motivation

While testing et ui there were some sequence of creating and editing the thing (node) which caused the label source or original on the row that is the thing (not a translation) to not accurately describe it anymore.

Proposed resolution

none yet. the percentage of time this would happen might be too small to worry about.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Maybe add some words (back) into the translation overview

API changes

none.

This might have implications for the naming of the permissions #1807776: Support both simple and editorial workflows for translating entities

I followed the steps outlined http://drupal.org/node/1188388#comment-6576708 and I didn't get the problem anymore, after following the steps, nothing is marked as 'original'.

If this is largely fixed, do we need to write the steps to reproduce or can the issue just be closed?

yeah, in part we took out the words because we could not find a phrase that worked.

we will probably put the words back once we agree, and use them in #1833126: Having the original language in bold text in the node "TRANSLATIONS" tab is not semantic. make representation accessible.

Here's a screenshot of the translations page for a node that I initially created in English, then made a Spanish translation, then went to node/1/edit and changed its language to French:

original_vs_source.png

Note that French is labeled as "original" even though it wasn't the initial language the node was submitted in. Also note that the Spanish translation has a "source" of English, which is correct in that when I made the Spanish translation, it was based on an English source.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/original has several definitions for "original". One is:

being the first instance or source from which a copy, reproduction, or translation is or can be made

By this definition, French isn't strictly "original", since it isn't the "first instance".

Another is:

not secondary, derivative, or imitative

By this definition, French is the "original" one, in that by selecting it on node/1/edit, I specifically chose to make it the primary one, and all the other languages secondary.

I think we dont want to track both kind of originals, and the second understanding is fine. It was the same setup for Druapl 7's node copy translation. This text is already addded in #1833126: Having the original language in bold text in the node "TRANSLATIONS" tab is not semantic. make representation accessible., somI think we can close this.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
