##### [Description:]
I've noticed this mostly in localizations that use special chars. Once it happens, I haven't figured a way to restore a readable search engine list - excluding another live language switching.

##### [Environment:]

100.0a1 (2022-03-24)

Windows 10

##### [Preconditions:]
###### Configs:
intl.multilingual.downloadEnabled: true
intl.multilingual.enabled: true
intl.multilingual.liveReload: true
browser.search.log: true

###### Tools:
[language packs](https://mock-amo-language-tools.glitch.me/?app=firefox&type=language&appversion=%VERSION%)
[search-addon](https://github.com/mozilla-extensions/searchengine-devtools/releases) if needed, preferably in a separate FX for default engine checks

##### [Steps:]
1. Install a firefox Firefox locale, en-us for example (autoset region not that relevant).
2. Install zh-CN language pack from the preconditions.
3. Open about:preferences / Language.
4. Switch the language to zh-cn.
5. Restart Firefox.
6. Open about:preferences#search and check the search engines list.


##### [Actual Result:]
Engines names contain artefacts. (interemittent, depends on which language the switch change happens to)

##### [Expected Result:]
Engine names are readable at all times.

##### [Note:]
This issue might get fixed or altered by bug 1758730.
