Restrict translations to namespace with default language installation result in bad translation links

[gentakojima]

I'm restricting translations to the namespace "names". So, links look like this:
:names:page
:names:langcode1:names:page
:names:langcode2:names:page

Then, when entering a translated page, the original language link look like this:
:names:names:page
:names:langcode1:names:page
:names:langcode2:names:page

Notice that the original page link is wrong. Should be :names:page.

My proposal to fix this is to modify the function buildTransID, so the links always look like this:

:names:page
:names:langcode1:page
:names:langcode2:page

This changes the current behaviour, but also removes unneccessary bloat on the URLs.

To do this, just replace the two occurrences of $idpart in the buildTransID function to this:
preg_replace("/^{$this->tns}/", "", $idpart)

You're right, this feature seems to be totally broken. I might decide to remove it completely to save me some headaches...

I found that quite helpful, ig it would work properly.
But to the fix from @gentakojima what to change exactely?
I found the function in helper.php

public function buildTransID($lng, $idpart)
{
if ($lng && in_array($lng, $this->translations)) {
$link = ':' . $this->translationNs . $lng . ':' . $idpart;
$name = $lng;
} else {
$link = ':' . $this->translationNs . $idpart;
$name = $this->realLC('');
}
return array($link, $name);
}

but as I don't have any idea of programming (anymore - I did some BASIC, qBASIC, VisualBasic - but PHP and everything else is foreign to me) I do not know what exactely to change/replace there.

Maybe you could also include that fix on the Plugin-Page https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:Translation
