Link to content in views doesn't translated to fr

Question

I made a content ( type = article). I made a view ( list of articles) and i add link to content. I activate fr language in the site => so

www.example.com/liste-des-articles => english page.

www.example.com/fr/liste-des-articles => french page.

My problem is the link to content doesn't work correcly in french => when i click to it => redirection to english page.

what shall i do ??

Thanks for the response.

Answer 1

One way to solve this would be to construct the "Link to content" field on your own, using Views. You will need to:

1. Add 2 fields to your view:
   • a "Content: Node ID (Node ID)" field
   • a "Content: Translation language (Translation language)" field.
2. Exclude the "Content: Node ID" field from display.
3. Rewrite the "Content: Translation Language" field as a custom link.
   The text in the "Rewriting" would look something like this:
   Link path: {{ langcode_value }}/node/{{ nid }}

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Until the core issue gets resolved here is a SIMPLE workaround that produces aliased URL

1. add ID as field and exclude from display

2. use the following code whereever you want the translated node url

   {{ path('entity.node.canonical', {'node': nid}) }}

Answer 3

it seems to be a bug in Drupal 8.3 views module at the time

but based on @Stefanos answer I suggest using Content: Path field and then exclude it from display, following Stefanos answer instead of:

Link path: {{ langcode_value }}/node/{{ nid }}

you can just try {{ path }}

it's better this way just too keep your URL aliases working

Answer 4

The solution of @Sohail is better, because it is generating the URL Alias of a content instead of the poor "/en/node/1" Drupal native link.

However, if you need to also translate the link text, and are not afraid of editing your twig template, you can use the twig path() function :

• Add the nid (Content ID) field to your view, and exclude it from display
• Edit your fields template [views-view-fields.html.twig], using overriding if possible

• Add the following code for your link :

  < a href="{{ path('entity.node.canonical', {'node': fields.nid.content|striptags|trim }) }}">{% trans %}Text to translate{% endtrans %}

Infos :

• The {% trans %}XXX{% endtrans %} twig block allow string translation.
• The fields.FIELD_NAME.content allow you to print only one field value
• The striptags filter is to avoid HTML tags (nice if you use theme debug)
• The trim filter is to remove all spaces left

Currentlhy there seems to be a working patch about this core issue

Make sure the patch from comment #24 is the latest working patch and apply as follows using drush

cd DRUPAL_ROOT_DIR
wget https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2018-08-06/2877994-57.patch
git apply -v 2877994-57.patch

Answer 6

Some of us have multilingual sites where the main language uses no language code in the URL, but translations do. In such cases the /{{ langcode }}/node/{{ nid }} solution doesn't work.

Currently in Drupal 8.5 Views won't let you select that Title field's URL in a rewrite, but you can get around this with JavaScript and CSS. You then just hide that linked Title field with CSS, and use JS to set link 'read more' text to that linked Title field's URL. For example:

1. Add a linked Title field (rather than "Link to Content"), and then exclude it.
2. Add a Custom HTML field. Let's suppose it has a field class of views-field-nothing

3. Add JavaScript to run on .ready:

   $(".some-custom-class-view .views-row").each(function(){ var thislink = $(this).find(".views-field-title a").attr("href"); $(this).find(".views-field-title a").hide(); $(this).find(".views-field-nothing").(''); });

4. Add CSS: .some-custom-class-view .views-field-title{display: none;}

Answer 7

There's a bug in core that shows a link to the same language when your label field (title/name) isn't translatable.
