When adding information in another language
the language count is updated before publish
The count should be updated instead only after publish.
After pressing the "Publish" button, the language count goes back to previous state ("4 languages" in the example above) before the automatic page refresh, displaying then the correct number.

Why do you think this should work this way? This proposal would mean that some bits of the UX (just this?) are inconsistent with the rest of the page.
that's a good question! on a second thought, i do think it's correct to update the language count before publish (you indeed just added a language).
probably the question should be: should the count stay the same during the whole flow? right now we update the language count when you move from the about dialog to the publish dialog, but after pressing the "Publish" button the count turns back to the value before your contribution. then, after the automatic page refresh, the count turns back to "correct" value.
a-ha! while writing this, i was testing different scenarios, and i've found out that this "issue" only happens when you edit the labels while in "Read" mode. when editing in "Edit" mode everything looks sharp!
To confirm, this is still occurring and we still want to make this change when in 'Read' mode bc it is fine in 'Edit' mode?
yes correct, we'd like to understand if it's possible to keep the language count consistent during the publishing flow. the image below does not preview, but if you open you can see the issue step-by-step. basically, once you add a new language in read mode, and click on "Publish", the language count goes back to the previous number, then the page auto refresh, and it then displays the correct count.
