[Resolved] non-translated post type requested in different language: what happens?

Hi there

I just visited the link you shared, and then I manually changed the URL to replace /de/ with /es/ (there is no language switcher because the post type is not translatable and there is nothing to switch to).

I had the expected behaviour, rather than what you describe.

As you can see in the screenshot I was redirected back to the /de/ URL.

I can see from the home page that Spanish is active on the site.

Perhaps you made some changes since submitting this ticket?

Sorry, returning to this I realise I had tested a different URL (that I had arrived at from navigating the site menu, not the direct link you shared).

With the URL I visited, switching the URL to 'es', it is redirected to 'de'.

With the URL you shared, switching the URL to 'es' loads the German content, but at the 'es' URL with the html lang attribute set to 'es'.

The URL I visited is a page, your URL is a single post of some custom post type.

Could you clarify the translation preference setting for both pages and for the custom post type, perhaps you could share a screenshot.

OK, I have confirmed the details of the issue and escalated it to my colleagues in second tier for them to pursue further.

I would just point out that this is something of a hypothetical issue inasmuch as it requires manually guessing and entering wrong URLs, there are no links generated to navigate to such URLs, and so I wouldn't expect it to be a high priority with the developers.

That said, I will keep you posted with any progress on the issue.
