 Dear all,

 I was trying to mark a URL path for translation  in the `urlpatterns` list
 object and I found an unexpected behavior when I try to change the
 language via set_language view (`django.view.i18n.views.set_language`).


 A path must have a name attribute (for instance name="translate-url"), the
 redirect works once after a language change (set_language view).
 Otherwise, we get 404. This behavior may be a little bug in django
 (django.urls.base.translate_url), since the framework does not force the
 developer to use name in the url paths.


 To put simple, I will explain it with code.

 - This will work (by 'work' I mean that we will get a translated url in
 the browser):

 {{{
 path(_('translate-this-url'), translate_this_url_view, name="translate-
 url"),
 }}}


 - This will not work (we will get a 404 error)

 {{{
 path(_('translate-this-url'), translate_this_url_view,),
 }}}


 I dig a bit in the code and I found out that the function
 `django.urls.base.translate_url` may be missing a check (verify if the
 `url_name` attribute of the  matched urlpath object is `None` or not).
 Check the following snippet:



 {{{

 # django.urls.base.translate_url
 def translate_url(url, lang_code):
     parsed = urlsplit(url)
     try:
         # URL may be encoded.
         match = resolve(unquote(parsed.path))
     except Resolver404:
         pass
     else:

         # TODO: here we should do something (if url_name is None: do
 something else)

         to_be_reversed = (
             "%s:%s" % (match.namespace, match.url_name)
             if match.namespace
             else match.url_name
         )

         with override(lang_code):
             try:
                 url = reverse(to_be_reversed, args=match.args,
 kwargs=match.kwargs)
             except NoReverseMatch:
                 pass
             else:
                 url = urlunsplit(
                     (parsed.scheme, parsed.netloc, url, parsed.query,
 parsed.fragment)
                 )
     return url

 }}}


 Many thanks for having a look a the ticket!
