Steps to reproduce this behaviour:

- Make a fresh installation of drupal using Standard profile. (I tried this yesterday with a fresh 8.1)
- Add a language to the site, enable Content Translation module and make Articles translatable.
- Create an article and comment it. Translate the article to the new language.
- Logout and visit the node. You should see the comments (default language selected).
- Toggle the language from default to the other language. The comments disappear. Only Roles with permissions to manage comments can see them.

As comments are not translatable I'd expect to see them regardless selected language. I've tried commenting with different roles and with different comment languages but always with no luck.

I've checked permissions, looking for something I could have missed but I didn't find anything relevant. I've also checked Drupal Core issues queue, looking for issues related with Content Translation and Comment module with no luck.

Version: 8.1.x-dev » 8.9.x-dev

Drupal 8.8.7 was released on June 3, 2020 and is the final full bugfix release for the Drupal 8.8.x series. Branches prior to 8.8.x are not supported, and Drupal 8.8.x will not receive any further development aside from security fixes. Sites should prepare to update to Drupal 8.9.0 or Drupal 9.0.0 for ongoing support.

Bug reports should be targeted against the 8.9.x-dev branch from now on, and new development or disruptive changes should be targeted against the 9.1.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 and 9 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 and 9 release cycles.

I am able to reproduce this, but I came across #2958935: Comments created in translation are displayed only for admin role which looks like the same issue and has more discussion, so I will close this in favour of that one.
