Problem/Motivation
The Entity link field uses the wrong translation of the entity. It always uses the original language which is not always desired.
This applies to both deletion and editing.
You can use the Entity operations field instead but that is not always desired to do so.
To reproduce:
- I have downloaded latest 8.4.x-dev release
- I have installed Drupal 8.4 with the Standard profile
- I have added a new language "Swedish" and then enabled that language for the "Article" content type
- I have created a new node Article example and then translating it to Swedish Artikel exempel.
- I have created a new View "Articles" that lists content type articles for both languages
- I have configured the view to use table format. I add "Link to edit Content" and "Link to delete Content" fields

Expected behaviour
When clicking on Edit on the Swedish Article exempel node I should be taken to the Edit form for that translation (Swedish)
When clicking on Delete on the Swedish Article exempel node I should be taken to the Delete form for that translation (Swedish)
Current behaviour
I am taken to the edit form for the english (original translation).
I am taken to delete form to delete both translations.
Proposed solution/idea
Use the EntityTranslationRenderTrait trait to properly render entity row links in the right language.
Add Kernel test for the fields to ensure they work as expected.
Proposed follow ups
Use Rendering language in the view configuration for untranslated entities
Fix translations for \Drupal\comment\Plugin\views\field\EntityLink if needed
