I can't get the correct current language in node URLs

Question

In D8, I have a website set up with 5 languages, using file path, like so:

 website.com/en/link
 website.com/en-us/link
 website.com/fr-ca/link
 etcetera.

I've made a view of blogs and resources. It includes a filter to current language selected for page and Not Specified-- this is to include articles that are intentionally set to Not Specified, so they show up for ALL languages. ( I don't want to have to turn 1000 blog posts into 4000 duplicates)

Problem is, the view is showing the link to items ONLY in the default language (EN) Regardless of what language I view the website in.

I'm using a hidden "Link to Content" field within a custom field for each item. I've UNchecked 'use absolute url'. I'm not sure what else to do. It doesn't make sense to me that it would be ignoring the site's current language.

If it's relevant, the link within the custom field is written like this:

 <a href="{{ view_node }}?title={{ field_file_name }}&type={{field_resource_type}}">{{ title }}</a>

I also added in a "Content: Translation language" field, to verify I was looking at the correctly filtered language. the URL uses default language regardless of whether the item's language is specified or not.

Update: I've also ensured the bottom middle column in Views is set like this:

 Rendering Language:Content language selected for page

This did not solve the problem. As a further test, I've also unchecked 'not defined' in my filter. While filtering to only nodes of the current language selected for page, I Still get URLs to the default language.

Also, the view has been translated into all relevant languages. Not sure how to change how the {{ view_node }} renders though. I assume it should be programmically pulling the current language when generating a URL. This {{ view_node }} is where the language is appearing. It seems like it should not be, though. The node alias shouldn't contain the language, I thought.

Answer 1

After narrowing down the issue, I think I've stumbled into an actual existing, known issue: Entity Links fields does not have translation support.

I still need to figure out how to apply a patch, but I suspect this is actually a duplicate of the above issue.
