when you create a node with a language, the path alias is saved with a language code. If you later change the node's language, the path alias's language code isn't updated to match the new language. This can cause the path alias not to show up when editing the node.
This issue occurs because the path alias's language doesn't update when the node's language is changed. You'll see an entry in the path_alias table with the old language code. To fix this, you need to update the path alias if the parent node's language and the path alias's language don't match.

ivan616 commentedI have tested code from this merge request locally, and it properly re-created the alias for the node's other language alias pattern.
I have enabled the node multi-language option and inserted both translations with the pattern being:
Basic page pattern - basic_page/[node:title]/[node:content-type]/[node:nid]
After deleting one translation and changing the language of the other translation, the alias was also regenerated.
Tested by landing on the page of the node, and it showed the node correctly.

berdirIt's not clear why this isn't integrated into the existing hook, needs to be converted to OOP or moved to the generator and needs to be generic, not specific to nodes.
Should also be possible to cover this in our existing test coverage.

Two kernel tests in
PathautoKernelTest:testAliasLanguageUpdatedOnEntityLanguageChange— creates an English node, changes it to French, asserts the alias langcode is updated and no English alias remains.testAliasLanguageChangeWithConflict— creates an English node and a French node with the same title (same alias string, different langcode — valid in Drupal). Changes the English node to French. Asserts the French node's alias is untouched, the changed node gets a uniquified alias (/content/hello-0), and no English alias remains.
