Article tag URL does not redirect to “Compact List of Tagged Items” Menu Item when other language except from All is selected in the menu item

[gkleissiaris]

Steps to reproduce the issue

• Install a basic Joomla! 3.9.25
• Installed languages: Greek and English
• Enable multilingual function
• Create a Greek and an English Main Menu
• Create example tags for each language
• Create a category and sub-category for each language
• Create example articles for each subcategory and attach example tags to them
• Create menu items for each language and “Compact List of Tagged Items” Menu Items pointing to example categories with a specific tag
• Click on an article tag URL and see where it redirects when the menu item has a language other than All (wrong redirection) and when it has All (correct redirection)

Expected result

When visiting /en/news-en/projects-en page, article tag URL should redirect to related “Compact List of Tagged Items” menu item, that is /en/news-en/projects-en/projects-with-label-02-en page

Actual result

Label 01 tag that has English language selected in its menu item redirect to URL /en/component/tags/tag/label-01 instead of the correct URL, as the Label 02 tag that has All language selected in its menu item and redirects to correct URL /en/news-en/projects-en/projects-with-label-01-en.

As I said before in my previous message, if you want to just overcome the problem and have the tags’ link pointing to the correct URL (a “Compact List of Tagged Items” menu item) that is /en/news-en/projects-en/projects-with-label-02-en page and not /en/component/tags/tag/label-01 page, you should just change the language of the “Compact List of Tagged Items” menu item from English to All. That should do the trick, even if it is considered a bug.

But if you want to redirect a tag URL to a “Single Article” menu Item, the following should do the trick, even if it may be considered a bug and not the correct way to do it, but I haven’t found any other way. If anyone else has another better way, please advise.

Redirect tag URL to a “Single Article” Menu Item

1. Create a new “Single Article” menu item with English language:

2. Create a new “Compact List of Tagged Items” menu item with All language and same alias and the previous

3. In page "Projects", the tag URL now points to "Single Article" menu item "Projects with Label 01":

What is the language filter parameter used in Tags Options?

[gkleissiaris]

What is the language filter parameter used in Tags Options?

The default, "All". I didn't change it. Should I use "Current"? I didn't know there was such an option.
