1887953 - Improve SelectTranslationsPanel language detection algorithm

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Translations, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Erik Nordin [:nordzilla]]

Description

We should attempt to improve the experience of SelectTranslationsPanel's language detection in the even that that detected language of the selected text is not supported for translation by falling back to the document's specified language tag if it is specified and supported for translation.

---

Steps to implement

Attempt to use the detected language(s) if they are supported.
Otherwise, attempt to use the document's specified language tag if it is supported.

---

Tests to implement

Open the panel on text that is not supported, with a doc lang tag that is supported, and ensure the doc lang tag was chosen.

Attachment: Bug 1887953 - Improve language detection for SelectTranslationsPanel r=#translations-reviewers!

Adds some logical fallbacking to the SelectTranslationsPanel language
detection algorithm to try to improve user experience when the
detected language is unsupported for translation.

Depends on D205731
