It would be nice to follow a pattern in the URLs and have one single thing that works for all URLs, but most importantly, allow the main website to have a language selector in the URL.

I probably don't quite understand the reasoning, but doesn't content negotiation take care of this?

The language selection in the wiki is by domain, such as https://en.opensuse.org/ and https://pt.opensuse.org/
The language selection in "Get openSUSE" is by a path in the URL, such as https://get.opensuse.org/pt_BR/
The language selection in the main website is by a combo on the UI, there's no way to do it with URL, https://www.opensuse.org/pt_BR, does not work and https://pt.opensuse.org/ is the wiki

Each website does in a different way, and the worst, there's no way (that I know of) to share a translated version of the main website on social networks.

Ideally

The wiki should be https://wiki.opensuse.org/ and the translations live in https://wiki.opensuse.org/pt_BR/
The main website should be https://www.opensuse.org/ and the translations in https://www.opensuse.org/pt_BR/
And for "Get openSUSE", I'm not sure why there is this domain, it could be just https://www.opensuse.org/download/ and https://www.opensuse.org/pt_BR/download/

I believe in consistency and to me, it just seems odd all these domains and the way they are used, besides, not all are easily translated with just a URL change.

The reasoning behind this is because we started a few social networks in Brazil, and it would be nice to share the proper URL in the language that we need, and also, for some content to be easily translated into our languages, such as blog posts and other "news" that live in our websites.

Let me know if I can help.

I am able to use the language selection menu in the footer of https://www.opensuse.org/ without any apparent issues. I tried Russian and Portuguese.

Yes, it is possible, and the original issue was not about not being able to switch the website language, but about not being able to use a URL to switch the language.

Not sure why this was closed, while there's a comment about this being a planned feature.
