Problem/Motivation

The labels of base fields that have overrides cannot be translated via UI. This makes it impossible to translate an entity form which shows some widgets of base fields; .e.g. I ran into this by not being able to translate "Authored by" or "Created on" on a node form.

Proposed resolution

* Make it translatable via the translation pages of their entity bundles, e.g. /admin/structure/types/manage/page/translate

Remaining tasks

* Finish patch.

User interface changes

* Some new translation options are available :-)

This does not seem to really easy. I've managed to get a working patch, but I ran into the following issues:
- I ran into some issues with translations not being picked up correctly *when* clearing cache via the admin menu tools *and* being on a translation language page. With a regular cache rebuild from API / drush cr this worked fine.
- After changing a translation there is still a cache rebuild needed afterwards - this needs to be detected and handled automatically.
- We should add some test coverage here.

Maybe related with #2650434: Clearing cache via UI in translated language resets config translation of field labels to default language ? Not 100% sure, tricky stuff these config translations :)

I ran into the same problem with "media". I would like to translate the "name" field's label as well as its description. But this is not possible as the label is overridden by base field override. Same for the "status" field.

@fago Have you made any progress here?

Fixed the fail test. For fixing it I have added "!is_null" condition, I am not too sure it is the write approach, Please have a look and advise.

The "Authored on" base field override (for blog node) can be translated here:
/admin/structure/types/manage/blog/fields/base-field-override/node.blog.created/translate

Check out the https://www.drupal.org/project/base_field_override_ui module it has direct links to translate the overridden base fields.

Before reviewing could this be a duplicate of #2546212: Entity view/form mode formatter/widget settings have no translation UI

Version: 9.5.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
