fix(translate): say why Translate did nothing (#287)

When a message was already in the target language, or its language
could not be detected, Translate switched itself back off with no chip,
no "Translating…" and no error. Show a short toast instead: "This
message is already in English." or "Couldn't tell what language this
message is in, so it wasn't translated."

Fixes #287
