I can confirm this but I am not sure if it is not expected behaviour.
When you press save and close it returns you to the page you were on before you clicked edit. But that page no longer exists because you changed the language hence the 404

Thanks for contribution - but closed as expected behaviour.

Ok. Expected behavior, but is it user friendly? I don't think returning an error 404 page could be an expected behavior for a valid process. Or i miss the point...
@cyrezdev Can't confirm the issue. Change the language and article saved as expected.
