Prevent from selecting the same source and target languages in new translation dialog
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Story Points

Description

It should not be possible to select the same language as source and target. Currently you can change the source to the same language the target is:

At the ongoing translations you can see a Bulgatian-to-Bulgarian translation probably started because of this bug.

The way it used to work (and how it should) is:

  • If you have (Source: X, Target: Y), and Target is changed to X the result is (Source: Y, Target: X).
  • If you have (Source: X, Target: Y), and Source is changed to Y the result is (Source: Y, Target: X).

That is, trying to select the same language becamoes a shortcut to switch source and target languages.

Given that this was working previously, it may be a good idea to write some tests that prevent future regressions.

@Pginer-WMF, can you please test that it's good now?

It works well in general but there is a problem with languages that are only partially supported (e.g., supported as source but not as target).
For example if the default choice is "English -> Spanish", and I switch the source language to be Spanish, the result shown is "Spanish -> English" which we don't support since English is not yet available as a target language. In that context, we can either (a) show English as disabled when it appears as a target language, or (b) just replace English with another valid target language (Simple English could be a good default).

In the long term, when all languages can be used as source and target, this should not be an issue.
