Important: Translated partnerships keep their role 

Description 

A translated partnership keeps the role of its default language record, the Role field of the partnership is not translated. The list of partnerships on a role contradicted that: it was synchronized into every translation of the role. Saving a role, in its default language or as a translation and even without a change, wrote the uid of the role translation into the role of every translated partnership of that role and renumbered their position in its list.

The list of partnerships is now kept on the default language role only. It is not offered on a translation of a role any more, where it was not shown before either, and saving a role leaves the translated partnerships alone.

Impact 

Two kinds of records can be left from before the update, and both point to a translation of their role. This query lists them:

SELECT partnership.uid, partnership.l10n_parent, partnership.l10n_source, partnership.role
FROM tx_academicpartners_domain_model_partnership AS partnership
JOIN tx_academicpartners_domain_model_role AS role ON role.uid = partnership.role
WHERE partnership.deleted = 0 AND role.sys_language_uid > 0;
Copied!
  • A translated partnership whose role was rewritten. Saving its default language record, its l10n_parent , copies the role onto the translation again and appends the translation to the list of that role.

  • A duplicate created by localizing a role whose partnerships were translated already: a second translation for the same l10n_parent and language, copied from the translation in that language, so its l10n_source points to a translation of the same language rather than to the default language record. Delete it, saving repairs nothing here. A translation made from a translation in another language is not a duplicate and is not listed. This query lists the duplicates:

    SELECT duplicate.uid, duplicate.l10n_parent, duplicate.l10n_source
FROM tx_academicpartners_domain_model_partnership AS duplicate
JOIN tx_academicpartners_domain_model_partnership AS source ON source.uid = duplicate.l10n_source
WHERE duplicate.deleted = 0 AND source.sys_language_uid > 0
    AND source.sys_language_uid = duplicate.sys_language_uid;
    Copied!

    The duplicates point to the translation of the role as well, so the first query lists them too. Delete them before saving the default language records that repair the others.

Localizing a role, or copying it into a language, no longer localizes its partnerships either. Core still localizes every inline child of a localized record, and no configuration prevents that, so the partnerships it created are removed again when the localization ends, and no partnership is left behind. For a partnership that is translated already, core still reports that its localization failed, while nothing is created. A plain copy of a role keeps copying its partnerships.
