1157478 - translation exceptions dialog has duplicate ids

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Translations, defect)

Description

[mcdavis941 (sporadically reading bugmail)]

Nit: the translation exceptions dialog (chrome://browser/content/preferences/translation.xul) uses the id #languagesLabel twice.  The second one was probably meant to be #sitesLabel.

This is still valid apparently.

[Affected versions]:

Firefox RC 118 - Build ID: 20230918143747
[Affected Platforms]:

Windows 10 x64
Linux Ubuntu 20.04 x64
macOS 12.6.1
[Prerequisites]:

Enroll in the experiment by pasting the user.js file in the Profile Folder from the “about:support” page and restarting the browser.
[Steps to reproduce]:
Navigate to https://amina-group.com/

Click the Gear button from the Translations Modal.
Select the “Always translate German” option.

Click the Translations icon from the Address Bar.
From the drop-down button, select the Italian language.
Click the “Translate” button.
Observe the behavior.
[Expected result]:

The page is translated and no Translation Modal is displayed.
[Actual result]:

The initial Translation Modal (with “Translate from” and “Translate to”) is displayed for a brief second while the page is translated.
After the page is translated, the initial Translation Modal is dismissed and replaced with the “This page is translated from German to Italian” one.
[Notes]:

This issue is also reproducible without being enrolled in the experiment.
This issue is also reproducible with other supported languages.
In some cases, the initial Translation Modal is displayed only for a second and the users don’t have time to react nor to read the information from the Modal.
Here is a screen recording of the issue.

This is such a minor nit, I kept it around since it was valid, but I don't think we need to track it.
