How to set alias pattern of node's source alias?

Question

When I translate a node I want that node's path alias to be like it's source node's path alias.

So in the url pattern for the translation nodes I use the token:

[node:source:url:path]

which according to this thread should be fine. But, it actually generates the alias "/node-402-0", although the source node has a path like "/welcome".

I have the feeling that in the token module the wrong language is being looked into.

Am I missing something?

Can you not simply build the URL the same way as in the source node, eg something like [node:source:title] if the source pattern is [node:title]? — Alfred Armstrong, Apr 13 '18 at 11:26
@AlfredArmstrong its never just the title, unfortunately. i have a lot of different patterns for the original english nodes, since i have a lot of different content types. it would be nice to then just tell all translation to just copy the alias :( — Alex, Apr 13 '18 at 12:21

I think you can set the alias to not be translated in the the content language settings (Admin->Config->Regional->content language.

Under each content type there should be a url alias option. Unchecking this should make the alias the same for all languages.

unfortunately not. i do want some languages to have their own translated patterns, but some should not (like chinese shouldnt, but german should have own patterns) – Alex Apr 18 '18 at 9:11
