Article translation status indicator
The article's translation status indicator is above the text formatting toolbar in a project workspace containing multiple languages in both Markdown, WYSIWYG, and Block editor.
The articles that require translation (with "Needs translation" status) are indicated using the "🌐" (globe icon) on the left side navigation pane.
