[PP-1] Creating translations (via PATCHing entities?) [#2897230]

Hello,

For #2856715: Push form, I am trying to PATCH entites to provide translation.

But I don't know how to do it with the JSON API because it seems to update the entity values and not create ones in another language.

So my question is: Is it possible to POST/PATCH content translation using the JSON API.

Thanks for any response.

Translation is a tricky issue. I don't think that we have that figured out yet. Maybe @penyaskito knows how to deal with this.

@Grimreaper did you land on any solution?

@e0ipso, thanks for the reply.

Sorry I have not searched a solution yet. I was waiting for a feedback before or maybe discussing a strategy of implementation.

I do not assign the issue to myself because I don't know when I would have time to search for that.

Yep, this should be blocked on #2135829: [PP-1] EntityResource: translations support, otherwise we risk introducing lots and lots of work-arounds in JSON API for core bugs. That's going to be untenable, both code-wise, and in terms of backwards compatibility.

So let's turn this from a support request into a major postponed task.
