Language switching on paginated pages problem

I am encountering an issue where if I am on a paginated page of a multilingual site, then the language switcher opens the homepage of the switched to language, not the corresponding paginated page. Is this by design?

I see! So I assume we cannot manipulate this code to return the correct pagination?

{{- if .IsTranslated -}}
  {{- with .Translations }}
    <ul>
      {{ range . }}
        <li>
          <a  hreflang="{{ .Language.LanguageCode }}">{{ .Language.Lang }</a>
        </li>
      {{- end }}
    </ul>
  {{- end }}
{{- end }}

The Permalink and RelPermalink values of pagers 2-n are always the same as the
Permalink and RelPermalink values of pager 1.

You can access the paginator values, but only if you’ve already paginated. See:

I run a script in your minimal reproducible site to create duplicate book files and rename the copies by adding a language code. I then defined both languages in hugo.toml and added the code switch above, but still the site points to homepage.

This issue is not a big deal for now since the pages behave as expected…

You have to use https://gohugo.io/methods/pager/pagenumber/ or https://gohugo.io/methods/pager/url/.
