Research direction

Start by reviewing the Static translations and Queue Jobs pages, then the Control Panel tour section on announcements. Document when plugin developers should use Translation::prep() and translate() instead of Craft::t(), update the relevant existing pages, and add the proposed Announcements page so plugin developers can use announcements.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Plugin developers should have information about when to use craft\helpers\Translation::prep() and translate() over Craft::t().
