It would be useful to add an access key (t) to the Translate button in the page translation panel:

  1. If a keyboard user doesn't want to change the source and destination languages, they can just press alt+t and avoid tabbing through the controls in the panel.
  2. When the translation panel pops up (but doesn't get focus), a keyboard user can simply press alt+t to translate the page without needing to focus the panel. Note that we support this in other doorhangers already. This also helps because many users aren't aware of the f6 keyboard command to focus the panel, but they can still translate the page anyway.

This should hopefully be a simple matter of adding accesskey="t" to the button, though I'm not sure how this panel is structured, so it might be more complicated than that.
