Warn user if they set the whole page to a different language
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Situation: The purpose of the "Language" formatting system isn't obvious to everyone (that's where you hide the machine translation, right?), and every now and then, someone will select the entire page and set the language to something else.

Request: Maybe if you do that, the software ought to warn you about it.

Event Timeline

We should probably have some help text given that this is a bit of a unusual tool, but I haven't seen this happen often and the tool is suitably hidden away.
