   * translations. This functionality is provided by defining a
   * 'translation_sync' key in the field instance settings, holding an array of
   * column names to be synchronized. The synchronized column values are shared
   * across translations, while the rest varies per-language. This is useful for
   * instance to translate the "alt" and "title" textual elements of an image
   * field, while keeping the same image on every translation.
   *
   * @param \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity
   *   The entity whose values should be synchronized.
   * @param string $sync_langcode
   *   The language of the translation whose values should be used as source for
   *   synchronization.
   * @param string $original_langcode
   *   (optional) If a new translation is being created, this should be the
   *   language code of the original values. Defaults to NULL.
