Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the source and target language selectors and determine how language choices are stored; then trace the UI state for both selectors. Done means users can add or remove source and target favorites and switch between them through the smaller buttons.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Inspired by an UI attempt, visible below, where the dropdown was smaller and did not take all the space, making it look like a "Tab". The empty space looks like it could be populated by other, unfocused "Tabs"

Add a "Fav" button on each side, and allow user to practically "bookmark" a language.

They get a second, smaller button aside from source selection. They click on it to switch to bookmarked language
Like, on the left, i translate frequently from german, english, or french: I should have these three as "tabs" so i can quick switch the source language.

Remove them by "fav"-ing them again. The icon should change

Target should have the same. Just click on a fav to bookmark a target
