Public suggestions improvements
We have updated the welcome page for public suggestions. Now, when you share a public link with your users, they will see a welcome page with the default or custom message, along with a list of project languages and the percentage of translated keys. When a user clicks "Translate" for a selected language, they will be redirected to the translation page. This page will have the default language pre-filtered for reference and the selected language ready for translation.
Additionally, it is now possible to display only missing translations in the public suggestions view using filters. This option will be selected automatically when language is selected from the welcome page.
