Recipient Type Email Field does not work for translated content, always uses original language value.

<p>The recipient type configuration allows sending email notifications to adhoc recipients via the "Email Field" option. This works fine for content with a single language, but when content has one or more language translation(s), the email field value from the original language will <em>always </em>be used. </p>
<p>For example, a page is created with English as the base language and then translated to French. Both are published. The French version is then edited and saved as Draft. The notification email is set to <a href="mailto:french@domain.com">french@domain.com</a>. When the page is re-published, <a href="mailto:french@domain.com">french@domain.com</a> should receive an email but they will not. Instead the email field value from English version will be used and the wrong person will be notified or no notification will be notified if the email field value is blank in the English version.</p>
<p>The problem stems from the fact that loadRevision($revision_id) in EntityStorageInterface seems to load the original language version of the node regardless of the language affected by the specified revision id. The relevant code for the workbench email module is in workbench_email.module.php:</p>
<pre>function _workbench_email_content_moderation_event_shim(ContentModerationState $entity) {<br> if (!\Drupal::moduleHandler()->moduleExists('content_moderation') || class_exists('\Drupal\content_moderation\Event\ContentModerationStateChangedEvent')) {<br> // https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2873287 will add this class<br> // to core.<br> return;<br> }<br> $entityStorage = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage($entity->content_entity_type_id->value);<br> $moderationStateStorage = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage($entity->getEntityTypeId());<br> $moderated_entity = $entityStorage->loadRevision($entity->content_entity_revision_id->value);</pre><p>The fix I am proposing is to use getTranslation() to set the moderated entity to the correct (current) language for the revision. One option is to do this in the EmailField.php prepareRecipients() function, but by making the change in the workbench_email.module.php _workbench_email_content_moderation_event_shim() function, the moderated entity will be set to the correct language at the start of the process.</p>
<p>Steps to reproduce:</p>
<p>1. Clean drupal 8.6.3<br>
2. Modules: Content Moderation, Workflows, Workbench Email, Language, Content Translation<br>
3. Install second language (example: French)<br>
4. Allow content to be translated (all fields for basic page content type) <em>/admin/config/regional/content-language</em><br>
5. Edit content type Basic Page and add new email field.<br>
6. Add new Workbench Email Template <em>/admin/structure/workbench-moderation/workbench-email-template</em><br>
For the "Enabled recipient types" select "Email Field" and then check the Email field created in the basic page content type.<br>
7. Edit Editorial workflow <em>/admin/config/workflow/workflows</em><br>
For the "Create New Draft" and "Published" transitions, enable the email template created in prior step. Also, for "This Workflow Applies To" select Basic Page content type.<br>
8. Create new basic page and set email address to <a href="mailto:english@domain.com">english@domain.com</a>. Publish page and confirm attempted email to <a href="mailto:english@domain.com">english@domain.com</a> (use Recent Log Messages report).<br>
9. Translate same page to French and set email address to <a href="mailto:french@domain.com">french@domain.com</a>. Publish page and email will be sent to <a href="mailto:english@domain.com">english@domain.com</a>, not <a href="mailto:french@domain.com">french@domain.com</a>.</p>
