Research direction

Start at the Search page and the top-navbar navigation from a locale page such as /uk/, then trace how the search locale is selected. Done means the locale from the page you started on is preselected when Search opens, rather than en-GB; verify the behavior using the reproduction steps.

Description

hours P3

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit any locale page, e.g., https://pontoon.mozilla.org/uk/
  2. Click Search in the top navbar.

Expected results:
The page locale (in our case uk) is preselected on the Search page, since you are most likely going to search in that locale.

Actual results:
The search locale stays default (en-GB), and you need to select the target locale manually.
