Akira Yokosawa reported [1] that the "translations" extension we added in
commit 7418ec5b15 ("docs: translations: add translations links when they
exist") broke the build on Sphinx versions v6.1.3 through 7.1.2 (possibly
others) with the following error:
Exception occurred:
File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/sphinx/util/nodes.py", line 624, in _copy_except__document
newnode = self.__class__(rawsource=self.rawsource, **self.attributes)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: LanguagesNode.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'current_language'
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-7xmwytuu.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Solve this problem by making 'current_language' a true element attribute
of the LanguagesNode element, which is probably the more correct way to do
it anyway.
Tested on Sphinx 2.x, 3.x, 6.x, and 7.x.
