Provide translate option for entities in contextual links.

Sure, though I am not sure if one would really want all possible tabs as contextual links. I don't necessarily think that is a good practice.

This should at least do it when using the old translation module for nodes and probably enable it for any entity when using entity translation.

I think aspilicious is suggesting adding translation, not all possible tabs.

Also, for people like me who didn't know... can see that gear and drop down shown in #2 on the site default front page after content is created.

Woops forgot a constant, better patch.

See if #1832778-8: Include translation operation in overviews for translatable entities and #1832778-11: Include translation operation in overviews for translatable entities relate to this.
They mention #1783964: Allow entity types to provide menu items and #1828410: Provide a bulk_form element for actions
Also... VBO.

They relate in a way yes, but they have added it to a different place.

Manual testing of the patch from #6 just on nodes with basic page not translation enabled, article translation enabled.

Only thing I noticed right off was the order of the tabs is different than the order contextual links. (needs work for this, unless someone else thinks otherwise)

Patch works.
The translation contextual link that it ads does work too and goes to the translation overview as expected.

This next bit is a won't fix and has to do with the label on the translations tab: And it's more noticeable as contextual links that view and edit look like actions and "translations" looks like an overview of the translations tab (which it is) instead of an action like "translate". The translate action is really not from the tabs, but from the "add" link available from the translations overview table. or the "edit" link from those same rows (which edit the node or edit the translation).

Oh, I didn't notice that the tabs are view and edit and the contextual links are edit and delete. hmm.

Then the order makes sense. (edit, translations, delete)

needs review for general approach/code review.

I think the code change looks good. It modifies both modules. The contextual menu item should only show up if the menu tab would (by definition and existing tests for contextual links). So I think this is good to go.

This makes a lot of sense to me, as this is one of the primary actions users are going to want to perform on their sites if the translation module's enabled. I don't view this as a feature, merely updating the existing UI to be more consistent, so re-classifying as a task.

Committed and pushed to 8.x. Thanks!
