Description

Content Translation provides support for multiple translation strategies (starting from scratch, using the source text or choosing among the available Machine Translation services). As new translation services are added, users may not have visibility on the new options they have.

This is especially significant for those services added as non-default options (e.g., Apertium translation between Hindi and Urdu).

I made an initial exploration, the design goals have been to:

Keep the information noticeable
Not being a blocker for editing (avoiding explicit interactions)

The proposed solution consists of:

Include a visual indicator to get the user attention
Include a message explaining the availability of new options (using the same color as the indicator).
When the user opens the selector, the new option is identified as such with the label "new" (in the same color used for the indicator)
Once the user has selected the new option, all the above clues are removed and they are never shown again to the same user during this or any other translation. Even if the user changes to different MT options.

I illustrated this below:

Once the user has selected the new option, all the above clues are removed and they are never shown again to the same user during this or any other translation. Even if the user changes to different MT options.

This is not done in this commit(https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/274682). It require some ways to persisit the provider preference. To be done in different commit
