Executive summary
Tag links on Tags Popular module and articles are pointing to a nonSEF URL in multilanguage mode like www.mysite.com/component/tags/tag/joomla.html even if there is a menu item that is set to "List all tags".
Steps to reproduce the issue
-
Setup a new MULTILANGUAGE web site by following these steps (Fresh setup for multilanguage site):
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Setup_a_Multilingual_Site/Installing_New_Language -
Create 2 "List All Tags" menu items for each language (In my case Turkish and English)
(Where the created menu items lead to: index.php?option=com_tags&view=tags) -
In Global Configuration, say yes to these 3 settings:
Search Engine Friendly URLs
Use URL Rewriting
Add Suffix to URL -
Rename htaccess file on the server as .htaccess.
Expected result
Tags on the "Tags Popular" module pointing to a menu like:
www.mysite.com/tr/myTurkishTagsAlias/joomla and
www.mysite.com/en/myEnglishTagsAlias/joomla.
(Joomla is the only available tag after the setup.)
Actual result
www.mysite.com/en/component/tags/tag/joomla.html
www.mysite.com/tr/component/tags/tag/joomla.html
(This issue is the same for blog post tags and the tags in "tags popular" module.)
If there is only one tag menu item assigned to all languages, it works as I have expected above.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.9.23 (Latest as of today)
Additional comments
You can read the same issue here that was written many years ago:
https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=859288
It might be a router issue because the same issue arises on the blog view. The tags of the articles also lead to a link like component/tags/tag/joomla.html when there is more than one tags menu item that are assigned to different languages.
Thank you very much to all the members of Joomla team who are putting their love to this wonderful CMS.

have you set Tags Options to use "Current"?
Hello @infograf768
Actually I saw it from one of your old posts on Joomla forum and had already tried changing the setting as "current". The links are still as I have described above. Like:
www.mysite.com/tr/component/tags/tag/joomla.html
This never happens if we create different aliases for blog or from any other component with different language selections. So this is interesting. I have been observing this for about a year on my site. This is not something new. According to the Joomla forum post from 2014, the same issue was still there then.
Thank you for your time. For thinking on it and answering me.

In Joomla 3.10.10 this is really broken... The tags list in a category view generate nonSEF url.
@alikon @infograf768
We have translated an IT site to EN and now all of our tagging system have broken URLs.
A non SEF url cause a lot of problems, like an impossible module assignement to a menu voice.
How we can solve?
We have duplicated and assigned to the right language every element (tags, menu voices and articles) and it's broken.
After making some more research, I realize that this conflict only arises when you set the language of "List all tags" menu item to a specific language. If the language of the menu item is set to "all" the links look OK. So also in this case, I couldn't assign two different alias to tags for two different languages.
