Fix the mobile experience for a second group of Wikipedias where Content Translation is in beta
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Content Translation was originally designed for desktop, and later mobile support has been added gradually (giving priority to those wikis becoming available by default out of beta).

This ticket proposes to update the mobile experience on a group of wikis where the desktop experience is still in beta. Content Translation will remain in beta for both desktop and mobile, but the mobile experience will no longer be broken.

These are the selected Wikipedias:

  1. Finnish (fi)
  2. German (de)
  3. Japanese (ja)
  4. Spanish (es)
  5. Vietnamese (vi)
  6. Simple English (simple) (not enabling for now based on inputs from T354666)

I checked this and the mobile experience seems to work for all languages except for Simple English. When accessing to https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation the browser gets redirected to https://ace.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation instead.

Based on the input from the Simple English Wikipedia community in T354666, we are not enabling the mobile experience for now. So this ticket can be marked as resolved.
