Description
This is a UX issue:
When I want to send content for translations on icl-dashboard, I select articles, but only get a message:
Translate to Danish (No translators have been assigned yet)
Translate to Dutch (No translators have been assigned yet)
Translate to German (No translators have been assigned yet)
Translate to Swedish (No translators have been assigned yet)
You haven't yet selected any Danish translator for this project.
You haven't yet selected any Dutch translator for this project.
You haven't yet selected any German translator for this project.
You haven't yet selected any Swedish translator for this project.
...the problem is that it doesn't tell me what to do or where to go next. No link = dead end...

2. Additionally, we don't need a link to the right of each article saying Not translated. Clicking the link just tells me again that is not translated. I would rather expect the link to take me to edit mode for translating the article (or I would just keep it in plain text).
3. It would also be nice to be able to select all articles, even if they don't fit on one page (need pager).
Your doing a great job; this is just some input to make the product even easier to use for our clients.

You caught this just in time. This is the next major change we're doing for the module.
Each translation language would have a much more informative status message and a link to act upon.
We're doing a few other changes to make it more usable:
* The module setup would go through a wizard.
* Split between basic and advanced setup.
* Show all notification messages in Drupal's admin panel (like translator applications, questions from translators, etc.)
This should be ready in about two weeks (mid November). Would you be willing to beta test before we release?

Great!
Yes, I would love to do some beta testing.
