1294906 - Remove article titles from language drop down title text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Localization, enhancement)

Description

[Stephanie Hobson [:shobson]]

The language selector drop down in the article heads includes the translated title of the article in the title text.

For example, on the English article "HTML developer guide" the link to the Spanish article looks like:
<bdi>
    <a rel="internal" href="/es/docs/Web/Guide/HTML" title="Guía del desarrollador HTML – Spanish">
        Español (es)
    </a>
</bdi>

The title tag has a mix of Spanish and English in it, we shouldn't do that.

Following Wikipedia and Facebook's example it is common to have the localized version of the language in the title text, so we should remove the article title and just have the localized name of the language.
