Description: 

Users' base field storage has been converted to support the standard multilingual variance capability for base fields that was introduced earlier.

  • The {users} base table only holds
    | uid* | uuid | langcode |
    Primary key: uid
  • The new {users_field_data} table has been introduced to store multilingual values for base fields.
    | uid* | langcode* | preferred_langcode | preferred_admin_langcode | name | pass | mail | signature | signature_format | timezone | created | changed | access | login | init | default_langcode |
    • Primary key: uid + langcode

For further details read Added multilingual support to the standard entity schema.

The signature field is translatable by default.
