When a user tries to open Content Translation in an unsupported browser, a clear message about this must be shown
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

After several complaints about this, I tried opening Special:CX in Internet Explorer 9. I saw a message saying "Could not connect to the server".

At the same time, it did work with Firefox. Also, we officially support IE 10 and up.

The message should be: "Content Translation cannot be used in Internet Explorer 9".

Tagging good first task, because we already have a browser support matrix in the code, and it's probably just a matter of adding a relevant translatable message and a condition in the right place.

@Ashutosh1206: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there have been no signs of progress lately (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on fixing this task and it also allows anybody else to potentially work towards fixing this task. Thanks for your understanding!
