I tested this on my dev wiki:

  1. There is a FOUC when I load Special:PageTranslation with JS enabled. The non-JS fallback is briefly visible. This is not a blocker but it is bad user experience.
  1. The language codes are duplicated on both JS and non-JS input:

  1. The no-JS additional description below the selector is now wrong. It can probably be removed now.
  1. The non-JS version has a weird non-functional down-arrow.

Unfortunately, this is due to the js enabled "codex replacement" solution and the multiple select usage for non-js, we will need to find the different approach.

These are fixed in the https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Translate/+/1249233

This is not fixed. Does anyone know where it is coming from and why? Not gonna treat it as a blocker though.
