Why are we doing this?
We are working on improving functionality around language variants and we would like for these updates to be announced to readers who may be interested in using them.
Reader story
As someone who reads Wikipedia in a language variant, I would like to know that it is now possible for me to read in any language variant we support.
Proposed design
👉 Figma: https://www.figma.com/file/Jcc9DMzO29Gk1nOndjm4jj/Chinese-Variant-User-education?node-id=0%3A1
| Default | Sepia | Dark / Black |
|---|---|---|

Design details
- Utilize the card style from the Fundraising alert to communicate the update to readers who currently have one or more language variants as one of their app languages on their next log in to the app
- This alert should be shown to any reader who currently has one or more language variants as one of their app languages on their next log in to the app
- Text (except for variants as presented) should be translated into the reader's primary language
- Tapping on the CTA should open the Settings > Languages screen
- Tapping on 'No thanks' should dismiss the alert
- This alert should not be shown during a first time user experience (aka first app load)
Proposed copy
Text should appear in the reader's primary language, except for the variant names which should appear as they are below, regardless of their primary language / variant.
