@Pginer-WMF, is that message displayed when people choose pairs of languages or by default? If by default, there is a risk that people feel surprised when they will see language that are not theirs.

Also, most people having wok in progress on CX have a direct access to the "In progress" page than the "Suggestions" one, right? Will they see that message?

The message will be shown only when the selected language pair is one of the language pairs that are relevant for the research study, and the target link will include the language parameters for people to provide translations on the same languages by default. That is, a user that selected Russian-to-Japanese will see the invite and reach the research page for those languages.

The initial idea is to show the invite on the suggestions view only. There is a significant percentage of people that create translations by suing suggestions, those people may also more open to try new things (as opposed to go to the tool to translate specific article they already have in mind).
We can consider making the invite more visible by showing it in other views, but note that for the In-progress view the default language filters are "All languages" to "All languages", which makes it hard to target the right users.

This didn't read as a test tube to me, probably because of the closed top. Also there is already a chemistry icon in the Math extension that you could re-use:

The chemistry icons among other advanced editing icons are in a process of revision. @Volker_E was in favour of the use of the test tube metaphor, but we can keep using the current one for now in order to avoid delays due to icon debates. Here is the blue version if needed:

When will it be out? I'm asking for User-notice.

It will go along with a train this week.

IIRC, there is no train this week, while the Release Engineering team has an offsite.
Anyway, that should be in the next edition of Tech News.

• Discarding the invite won't show it again for the user.

The invite will appear again if the same user logs in from a different computer or a browser.

Yes, that is to be expected. We have agreed to use local storage here and local storage is browser local. We don't use database in this case to simplify the process of getting invitation in production, because it will be displayed for 2-4 weeks.

The ticket description says:

The invite will be developed in a way that can be repurposed in the future. The idea is to use a similar invite to encourage users to try the version 2 of Content Translation when it is ready for a wider exposure.

Because of this, DB usage might be needed in the future to save the user's choice, but we don't need it yet.

Please note, translation TO enwiki are currently restricted by way of an edit filter to those that are extendedconfirmed. Just an FYI (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CXT)

I don't think it will impact much while that experiment is not asking people to create translations using CX. We try to find people interested by certain pairs of languages, nothing more. :)
