Feature Request: introduce option to disable fallback to default locale when translating entities #5
Description
Feature Request: Introduce option to disable fallback to default locale when translating entities.
Description
Currently, when using the translation method (e.g. translate($entity, $locale)), the bundle automatically falls back to the default locale if no translation exists for the requested locale. This means that when you request a locale such as it_IT and no translation exists yet, the default locale’s data get returned and your form is pre‑populated with “old” data. In numerous instances (e.g., entity translation forms), it is preferable to get an empty translation object instead, so that the form is initially blank and the translator can decide to create a new translation rather than editing the default.
Proposed Changes
- Introduce a new configuration option under the bundle, e.g.
tmi_translation:
allow_fallback_to_default: false
