This page is hidden behind a pref, but not behind an ifdef. I chose to
do this in order to simplify the potential release of this feature. I
don't foresee issues with bloating the binary during the development,
so this doesn't feel like a risk to me.

Do we plan to remove HIDE_FROM_ABOUTABOUT in the future? I'm asking because with that about:translations won't be suggested in the urlbar.
Or maybe the page could be made visible in NIGHTLY only for now?

about:translations is a developer-focused area for testing translations, and is not built for general users. We could probably turn it on by default in Nightly, but it's not ready for any other release channels. Our team hasn't discussed doing this though.
