I m not sure if this is a bug. But, I am using D7 and Im having the exact same problem that was experienced here for D6: http://drupal.org/node/591430.

I have an English and Japanese site. English is primary language, Ja, secondary. I bulk update aliases but I have several that wont update. The similarity is that they are all the Basic Page content type from Drupal 7 core. Regardless of bulk update, they always maintain their node/n-id clean url formatting.

However, I can edit the content type, save it with the url alias of choice in Japanese (Im editing the Japanese content), and after saving, the page reloads and indeed there is the link in the browser URL bar with correct alias and formatting. However as soon as I navigate away from the page, all changes are lost, and I still see node/n-id in all my links. Interestingly enough, when I go back to edit the content type the alias settings still have my alias there. Something is just not saving correctly? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Blue

This is because URL aliases are saved with the language of the node. A node with a Japanese alias cannot use the same URL alias when browsing the site in English. This is how it works with Drupal core and is nothing new or different in Pathauto.
