Description:
A new way to determine whether an entity type, bundle or field supports translation has been introduced in D8. We have:
- An entity-level
'translatable'key in the entity plugin info, which states whether the entity type supports translation or is inherently language-unaware (the default). - A bundle-level
'translatable'key in the bundle info, which states whether that specific bundle has translation support enabled (by default it doesn't). The core Content translation module alters the bundle info based on its own configuration.
As a consequence, the field translation handler concept and the related 'translation' entity key have been removed in favor of the 'translatable' key in the entity info.
