Description

This Tracking-Neverending ticket captures issues and features related to the support for References in Content Translation version 2.

References are an key element in our content, but they are also a complex element with variations across languages that can be problematic in translations.

You can find the list of all the open reference-related issues.

Report a new issue with references

Issues about references reported for version 1 are tracked at T115045: ContentTranslation issues with references (tracking). We want to check which of those affect version 2 and add to the current tracker.
