In my Joomla website (recently updated to 3.8.4) I developed a module showing a list of links to Joomla articles.
I stack in a MySQL table a list of articles id of the main language (french). If the visitor is in german part of the site, the module retrieve the (french) article id from this table and use ContentHelperAssociation::getAssociations to find the german equivalent; however with the new condition if ($item->language != JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag()) in getAssociations() method associated articles extracted of the current user language are excluded from the array of articles returned.
Is there a way to bypass this limitation ?
Thank you

I understand what @Bakual explains :
intended behavior of that method to not return the items of the active language
but maybe this could be less rigid and could be for example an option, like an additional parameter of method getAssociations which by default exclude current language ?
Imho, that usecase is so specific to your needs that it doesn't make sense to support by in core.
Just run your own query and fetch the artciles without using the API.

Closed as expected behaviour
For reference that line was introduced with #19314 (and #19009).
To me it looks like intended behavior of that method to not return the items of the active language.
For your usecase, you should probably do your own method.
