Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Switching the site language after nodes have been created make those nodes unusable.
Steps to reproduce :
1 - Install Drupal 8 RC1 in english
2 - Create a node
3 - Configure default site language as french, remove english
4 - Edit previously created node :
- Fields are empty in the form
- If I edit a field (such as body), it won't display anything on node view (only the title)
- I go back to editing my node : my body field is still empty

plachThese kind of issues have always been tricky, honestly I'm not even sure there's a proper fix.
I'd be tempted to close this as the current behavior is by design in a sense.
I'll ask Gabor to provide additional feedback.
