 === Patch Testing Report

 Patch Tested: [attachment:"51039.diff"]

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.30
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 9.5.0 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.30)
 - Browser: Chrome 144.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken
 1. Go to Wp dashboard.
 2. Changed Site Language to a non-English locale.
 3. Applied 51039.diff.
 4. Visited Dashboard and Settings → General.
 5. Observed the new translation recruitment notice.
 6. Switched back to English (en_US) to confirm notice does not appear.
 7. ✅ Patch is solving the problem

 The dashboard/settings prompt is displayed correctly for non-English
 locales and encourages users to help translate WordPress. The notice does
 not appear for English (en_US), which matches expected behavior.

 === Expected result
 - Show a translation contribution prompt for users using non-English
 locales.
 - Provide a clear call-to-action/link for contributing translations.
 - Do not show the notice for English users.
 - Notice should be non-intrusive and placed appropriately in the admin UI.

 === Additional Notes
 - Patch applies but create `options-general.php.orig`; so just needs
 refresh/rebase against current trunk.
 - Suggest refreshing patch to meet current coding standards before commit.
