Problem/Motivation

I can export nodes with translations normally to my recipe and I can see how the path alias for the translation is exported in the YML with this structure:

translations:
  es:
    path:
      -
        alias: /home
        langcode: es

but when I import the content no alias in Spanish is created.

Steps to reproduce

Create a node with a translation and a path alias for both languages.
Export the node.
Verify the path alias is in the translation
Import the node into another site.
Verify the path alias is only created for the original language

Proposed resolution

Handle the special case of path alias for translations

Remaining tasks

Code

User interface changes

Introduced terminology

API changes

Data model changes

I tried to reproduce this using the exact steps described on a clean Drupal instance, with no contributed modules other than those needed for content translation. In that environment, both the default-language and translation aliases were imported correctly, so I couldn't reproduce the described behavior.
If Pathauto is enabled, that could explain the issue:
Pathauto overrides the path field's item/list classes, and its PathautoItem::postSave() only allows core's alias-persistence logic to run when its internal Pathauto state is explicitly set to 'skip'. The way the DefaultContent importer populates the field can leave that state at 'create' instead, which silently prevents the imported alias from being saved.
