Do you mind sharing what is in the `intl.accept-languages` list from `about:config`? Some of the things you've said make me continue to think this is a form of bug 1948445. 

> I have 2 phones with the same model and on one I see the translation menu showing up and on the other phone not displayed.

Could you check the system language settings between the two phones? Something like: `OS Settings -> Languages -> System Languages`. Multiple languages in a specific order are also an option. 

Part of how we determine "languages the user knows" is based on this list. We don't automatically offer to translate in situations where our best guess is that the user will want to read the page as-is. We also have difficulty determining the "Translate to" language for the same reasons.

If the icon isn't showing up at all, even deep in the menus, then this is a separate issue we can talk about too. (Translations are only supported on devices of a [certain architecture](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1909000#c19) (generally speaking, aarch64) that supports WASM.)
