Ask users to try the ContentTranslation beta feature when creating an article

Description

Inform users that have not tried Content Translation yet, that they can enable the beta feature. There are several kinds of events that the information can be attached to in order to make it relevant (we should make sure that we don't inform about the existence of the feature more than once for each user, even if several mechanisms are supported).

This is one of the experiments defined as part of T90532: Ask users to try the beta feature (tracking) to invite users to try the beta feature when they are creating a new page.

Lots of good ideas, but I would suggest starting with very simple strategies to just raise visibility. Even a well-targeted banner with a clean (multilingual :-) landing page would go a long way. Why not start there and see what it does to your # of testers?

@Eloquence, I agree in starting simple, but I would prefer to ask the user in a relevant context (with some chances to be interested in translating).

I created a prototype for one of the ideas: tell the feature exists when the user is about to create a new page. Clicking on "Try Content translation" would enable the feature and direct the user to CX to start a new translation.
