The language search seems to be working more flexibly now. I tried the example from the original report and a few more, and they work as expected:

With the unified dashboard using a different technology, this issue is no longer happening:

The number of languages shows correctly on the Confirm step. Notice however that this creates an inconsistency with the information shown at the Search step. Below, you can see the two steps: searching for the article title shows the first result with "2 languages" indicator, and taping on it opens the Confirm step with "3 languages" indicator:

One aspect worth detailing/illustrating is how collapsible items work in search. For example, how a query such as "Africa" could let users find both the African continent and the South Africa country.
@SGautam_WMF The proposal looks good. One aspect we may want to detail a bit more is how naming defines sub-collections. We may want to clarify whether the parent collection needs to be defined explicitly or not for sub-collections to exist. Some examples below of how the naming conventions could work:

I have been trying the demo tool with some examples comparing it with Content Translation and a diff tool as reference. Overall, I have the impression that the new algorithm works better than the current one. It is more sensitive to changes, thus it would account for more of the user modifications and avoid cases where the user has modified the translation and the tool prevents them from publishing. In any case, we may want to keep an eye on deletion rates if the change is applied.
@SGautam_WMF, before development starts, we may want to include a link on the collection view to the page where the page was tagged as a collection. For example, the Wiki99 sustainability collection view would link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki99/sustainability
Regarding the communication of saving issues, there is a related ticket from a decade ago: T106690: CX2: Communicate that auto-save is retrying automatically after an error
My understanding is that saving is automatically re-tried after some time. If that is the case, it would be good to communicate that too.

I added a proposal in the "Proposed approach" section from the description. It is intended to provide the alternative option to re-translate the whole article where it is relevant (i.e., not showing when coming from suggestions), and make it more clear and less prominent. This is expected to still allow some of the workflows based on overwriting previous publications, while reducing confusions and the risk of accidental overwrites. Feel free to share your thoughts.

The general functionality seems in place. Some details on labelling captured below:

For the reference breakpoints the adaptation of the language selector works as expected for the narrow and wide cases.
Confirmed. It works as expected.

Great! The issue described in T386118#10604901 is no longer happening.
The "New translation" button is not showing where it was not supposed to. So moving to product sign-off.
However, I noticed a glitch in this same area, captured in T391468 in case it is relevant.

With the new dashboard, this functionality is already available.
With the new dashboard, these issues should no longer happening. Feel free to reopen if that is not the case.

I wanted to share a couple of proposed aspects to measure that have been surfaced in several conversations in the past as the impact of translations have been analyzed:

The specific issue with redirects is solved. The links in the description now lead to the intended destinations.

- Now the mobile experience is supported on Wikipedia for all languages.
- A comment from a user asking for access to translation from the app suggests that they are using the notifications as a workaround to access the tool.
