Add "notification" that there are more translations of a text in user's language

User story

John is new to the site. He is sent a link to a sutta. Looking at that sutta there is no indication at all that there might be another translation of the exact same sutta because it's behind a couple of clicks. Poor John.

Elizabeth is very familiar with the site, however every time she wants to know if there is an additional translation of the text she is reading, she must click on the Parallels icon to see. She may even forget to check since it's not clear what might be waiting for her.

Feature description

Nice! Would save me a click sometimes. I just hope this feature doesn't come with a performance cost. The site already takes a long time to load a sutta 😅

I think the api used to render the page already has the data on other translations, but I'm not sure. There does seem to be an additional api call when the parallels icon is clicked, so maybe not. But those API calls are lightening fast in my experience.

[khemarato]

Those API calls haven't been lightning fast for me, which is why I know off the top of my head that clicking it makes one! 😅 But anyway that's probably off topic for this feature, which seems useful and reasonable (especially assuming the data is already there).

[thesunshade]

I guess ideally if an additional call is needed the notification could pop up after the page loads (which wouldn't be bad and might even be good).

I have also noticed that the new Voice icon gets added after the whole page loads.
