Alias URL not changing when switching language in a View

Question

I have a content node in 2 languages. When I use the language switcher while displaying the English content:

www.example.com/en/content/Article-on-relativity

it displays correctly the translated content in Spanish in this URL

www.example.com/es/content/Articulo-sobre-relatividad

However, when I include the contents filtered in a View, the language switcher only swiths the first part of the URL, but not the alias URL of the content itself, displaying Not Found

www.example.com/en/myView/Article-on-relativity

changes to

www.example.com/es/miVista/Article-on-relativity

instead of the desired

www.example.com/es/miVista/Articulo-sobre-relatividad

Thanks!!!

An alternative would be to use i18n_page_views module - it is a display plugin that installs an item labeled i18n page into the +Add (display) button menu. It's like a page display extended by fields for entering a path for each enabled language.

While it does not offer any tool to convert existing displays into i18_page type, it's quite easy to do that manually - just export your existing view(s), change the type of the display in a notepad and re-import w/override.

Regretfully, the module does not offer UI for creating translated menu items - this also has to be done manually.

At any rate, it's advisable to bind all translation paths (created manually as jdu suggested, or created automatically) into a translation path set (admin/config/regional/i18n_translation/path/add). I found that without it the i18n_get_path_translations function worked whimsically.
