Screeshot of observed behavior which differs from what is reported with the given steps to reproduce
Following the steps you provide, for me the message is: title: "Weet u het zeker", message: "Deze pagina vraagt te bevestigen dat u deze wilt verlaten - gegevens die u hebt ingevoerd worden mogelijk niet opgeslagen." I've attached a screenshot.
This appears to be a browser specific message, which differs from the one you provided. I do wonder how your browser knows you were translating, though...

There are two different variants of the message. One happens which you click a link and other happens when you change group, filter or language (unless Firefox behaves differently). The latter just says "There are unsaved translations" (or similar) while the other also asks whether you want to navigate away.

Now it says "You have unsaved translations" when I try to reproduce, but it's still unclear what do the buttons do. The message should be clarified.

The warning displayed nowadays is this on Firefox:
Feels pretty informative to me. Roughly translated es-en it says: This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave it. Any information you entered may be lost. [Leave page] [Remain in the page]

As @Nikerabbit wrote, there are two variations:
- When changing something within the interface, e.g. when choosing another tab. This is confusing. (And even broken: if I select “Cancel”, the message list remains unchanged – including keeping the unsaved translation –, but the tab I selected gets highlighted instead of the previous one.)
- When leaving the page, e.g. closing a tab or clicking a link that leads to another page. This is clear; in older browsers, it says “You have unpublished translations”, in modern ones, a browser-dependent message. (As far as I remember, IE11 – which is still supported in MW 1.39 and 1.40, so should be supported in Translate as well – counts as an older browser.)
