Relation widget not working with new i18n multilanguage feature

[bbzitopirulito]

Description:

• Relation widget only queries the default entry language for the required data even when the language is changed in the CMS preview.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Configure config.toml with the new i18n feature with 2 languages (like "en" and "pt")
2. Create a collection ("test", for example) with the "path" string widget field and create and entry in cms for both languages. In "pt", the path field will receive "portuguese" as it's value, and in "en", the field value will be "english"
3. Create another collection with a field configured just like in the first screenshot
4. Open the entry with the relation widget in CMS preview, and the relation widget will only show the value from the default language in both entry languages

Expected behavior:

• The relation widget will show "english" in both entry languages

Versions:

• netlify-cms-app 2.12.24
• netlify-cms-core 2.30.7

Is there a way to speed up resolving on this issue? Like sponsoring development?

Hi @frankspin89 if you find someone that would like to do it, we'll gladly accept a PR for it.
Our Slack channel is a good place to ask.

@bbzitopirulito Would you mind sharing the config file for this? i.e. what goes under path and usecase collection, how to set up the relation widget etc?
