Before this commit:
When website default lang was not en_US, the translation of fields* in the
web_editor would not be saved correctly.
Let's illustrate with fr_BE set as main lang:
The web_editor's RPC calls does not send language in the context when editing
a page (6ebcc06), but it does in translation mode.
Note that editing is always performed in the website main lang, fr_BE in this
case.
Therefore:
1. When EDITING:
The backend suppose the language is en_US as there is no lang in the
context (hardcoded everywhere).
It then write in the record itself instead of the ir.translation as it
should since fr_BE is a translation. (In Odoo, every lang is a translation,
en_US is always the main lang)
2. When TRANSLATING (in en_US):
It would also write on model as the web_editor send the language to the
backend when in translate mode. But since en_US is recognized as the main
lang (which is correct), it also writes in the model, overriding the
incorrect fr_BE writing which was also wrote on the model.
This has been fixed in 10.0 with these 2 commits:

With these fixes, the lang is correctly added (by the backend) if the website
module is installed.
By ensuring the lang is correctly set, the ORM _write() function will process
the edition and translation datas as it should:
- If it receive en_US, it will write on the model
- If it receive another lang, it will write on ir.translation
This closes#10883, closes#22403
*Not the HTML/XML fields which are handled differently by the ORM/translation
