Create content in language with field translation.

[dutchiexl]

You can add a language in the table hash

 | title        | News feature: News item 1 |
 | body         | This is a news item       |
 | field_date   | 2018-02-25 07:45:45       |
 | language     | en                        |

Every field that is translatable, will be set in this language

Awesome, thanks!

@jhedstrom @dutchiexl : I'm afraid the proposed solution breaks in Drupal 8 since \Drupal\Driver\Cores\AbstractCore is supposed to be Drupal core agnostic, so in there we cannot refer to Drupal 7 specifics like the LANGUAGE_NONE constant, which is not available in Drupal 8.

With current master branch of both drupal extension and drupal driver, when running D8 tests, I get:

...
@d8
  Scenario: Create many nodes                                  # features/api.feature:49
    Given "page" content:                                      # Drupal\DrupalExtension\Context\DrupalContext::createNodes()
      | title    |
      | Page one |
      | Page two |
      Notice: Use of undefined constant LANGUAGE_NONE - assumed 'LANGUAGE_NONE' in vendor/drupal/drupal-driver/src/Drupal/Driver/Cores/AbstractCore.php line 42
    And "article" content:

We could actually add the $entity object to the field handler constructor, so we delegate all core specific logic the handler implementations, so from:

public function getFieldHandler($entity_type, $field_name, $language);

We would have:

public function getFieldHandler($entity, $entity_type, $field_name);

[ademarco]

Field handlers are actually supposed to work with all type of entities, so any specific entity type reference (i.w. 'node' in this case) should be removed, $entity_type should be used instead.

We could actually use something similar to what core does for comments:

$langcode = field_is_translatable('comment', $field) ? entity_language('comment', $comment) : LANGUAGE_NONE;

So:

$langcode = field_is_translatable($entity_type, $this->field_info) ? entity_language($entity_type, $entity) : LANGUAGE_NONE;

Yes, comments is where I got my mustard from. I can check out the entity_language if you like and refactor the update.
