Field collection translation My site has a number of content types that have Field Collection fields. All of these field collection fields allow more than one value.

I've marked the content types as translatable, and the field collection fields as well. It does not work though; changes to translations are also visible in the original language. 

Field collection is obviously an entity reference of sorts, and adding a new translation does not appear to link the field to a newly created entity, but the same one.

How do I fix this? Is this a configuration issue, or is this a bug?
For the record, if other people have a hard time figuring how the translation in Field Collection works, here's what I found out:

It does not work.

There is an issue here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2618016 that provides a patch to add support, but does not retroactively add translation support to existing field collections. If your site already has field collections you are SOL - and in my case the whole site becomes non-functional.

I'm now looking into migration towards paragraphs, but not sure how to migrate my data. Will update when I have a good solution.
