Description
The current
navbar-lang-selectorbehavior lists all languages in the dropdown even when no translations are available for the current page. When a user selects a language, they are redirected to that language's home page instead of a translated version of the current page.This misleads users into thinking translations exist for the page, and they only discover it's a fallback behavior after being redirected to the home page.
