The message key in question is translationnotifications-talkpage-body. The email has the following text at the bottom:

To unsubscribe or to change your notification preferences for translations, please visit <$5>

with $5 being the URL to translator signup page. (See:translationnotifications-digestemail-body, translationnotifications-email-body)

We can do something similar with the talk page message.

Can we also consider shorter wording such as [[Special:TranslatorSignup|Unsubscribe or change preferences]]?

The existing message from translationnotifications-email-body and translationnotifications-digestemail-body were taken up. Changing the translationnotifications-talkpage-body message would prompt changing the others for consistency reasons.

Tested on MediaWiki.org. I can now see a link to unsubscribe in the talk page messages and the message sent via email.
