When I go to the edit form for a node translation the alias is generated by pathauto.

I have different pathauto patterns to generate the different alias in different languages.

When I have nodes without path and I do a bulk update only the path for the origin language is created, not the translation.

Steps to reproduce

  • Set up a Pathauto pattern with [node:content-type]/[node:title].
  • Create a node in english
  • Translate that node in any other language
  • Make sure you have an alias for the node in english which will be like /product/name-of-product
  • Make sure you have a translated alias for the node in any other language (e.g. in french) /produit/nom-du-produit
  • Delete all aliases (uncheck Only delete automatically generated aliases if you manually set aliases previously)
  • Bulk generate aliases
  • Now confirm the translated node will have its [node:content-type] bit untranslated (e.g. /product/nom-du-produit)

This seems like a pretty big problem, given if you hit this issue it could break a bunch of your site's URLs at once.

You reproduced the issue but did you find a fix?

I was able to reproduce the issue and discovered that the problem is in the token module itself. There is an open issue for that also #2945272: bulk generating nodes with [node:content-type]/[node:title] uses current language for [node:content-type] for all languages.
I applied the provided patch and it applies and works, so the bulk generate aliases are added correctly depending on the language and your translation of the content type.

Thanks for testing, yes this can't be fixed in pathauto, closing as a duplicate.
