The article's translation status indicator is above the text formatting toolbar in a project workspace containing multiple languages in both Markdown, WYSIWYG, and Advanced WYSIWYG.
The articles that require translation (with "Needs translation" status) are indicated using the "🌐" (globe) on the left side navigation pane.
Article translation status indicators
Here is a clear representation of the translation status and what it indicates.
