added machine translated hint to information_page.html

wouldn't it be more important for minutes? IMO translations of information pages are more carefully checked than minutes translations

I would wish this being configurable on a per-page basis, as there are some pages that are actively curated in English

I think this would be better since other Gremien may actually manually translate it.

Also we could think about explaining it better. Why is it machine translated? What can I do about it?

tbh, I don't think that a "may be machine translated" notice on all English pages provides any useful information. Can I trust this information? – Maybe.

Is there a reason why you prefer the "maybe" wording over my suggestion of making this configurable per page and provide reliable information ("is/is not machine translated")?

other Gremien may actually manually translate it

The FSR also translates some information pages by hand or at least reviews the automatic translation before publishing the page.

I agree that for a user, an explicit "is" would be more valuable.With the current specification of the issue I believe "may" is the best solution. This means I will be alerted to possible weirdness and know I will ask if something is unclear.

But if we expand the scope we can also have the is / is not . But I think this definitely needs to be set at the time of translation, automatically. So it may be more complicated, and I think this version would already be helpful (though the note may need to be expanded to explain a little better why the hint is therek

Yes, this should be set when translating a page

automatically

Only if it it still possible to change this. Otherwise, it would not be possible to machine-translate a page, review it (without any need for changes) and then publish it without a warning.

Agreed. The question remains whether this PR (in some form, e.g. adapted wording ) is useful or not.
