I really struggle with noticing the state of the content localization toggle. There is no visible difference to me. It used to look like this, where the button was darker if translations were enabled:

> [@Language switcher and language content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/language-switcher-and-language-content/380845/9):
>

But now both states look identical to me:

It seems that instead of changing the color of the button, now only the color of the symbol is changed.

The problem is that this does not work with the WCAG palette. To me, the icon always looks the same, regardless of whether translations are enabled or disabled.
