Pginer-WMF added a comment. @rasmusskjoldan thanks for your comments, here is some additional details:
One of the problems we identified in our tests is that when users enabled the beta feature, it was not clear where to find the main entry point to start or continue with translations. So we want to establish contributions as the entry point where users go to create new contributions such as translations (in addition to checking what they did as it currently supports). For the particular case of this entry point, we tested two initial prototypes (on both you need to try to search for "empanadas" and create the page if it does not exist): one adding a banner above the content <http://nirzar.github.io/prototypes/cx/create-article/a/two-create-article.html>, and the other using a modal <http://nirzar.github.io/prototypes/cx/create-article/b/two-create-article-b.html>. We found issues in both, the first one pushed the text area down which is the main element to edit. Existing templates also contributed to that but those are controlled by the community and we cannot do much more than trying to avoid making instruction heavier. The modal version was perceived as more clear but it felt too blocking. It was hard to evaluate what to do if you cannot view all the information (and after closing the modal it was hard to revert your decision and figure out how to start a translation). As a result we decided to use a flyout similar to what we used to invite users to try the beta feature in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89701. The goal in this case was to suggest you to translate the specific article you were about to create. If we achieve that (or a good enough guess) the plan is to show the popover immediately visible to invite the user to translate the article instead of starting from scratch. If we are not able to figure out which article the user is trying to create, inviting to translate can result in unmet expectations (e.g., the article not available in a language the user can translate from) and I'm concerned in showing it immediately visible every single time (showing it once as we do for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89701 can be acceptable).
