Description

English doesn't appear as a target gray interlanguage link in simple.wikipedia.org, but Simple English does.

To reproduce:

Go to https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CX
Start a new translation
Select some article in the French Wikipedia
Select Simple English as the target language
Start the translation
In a new tab, open https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WithoutInterwiki . It's a list of articles that appear in the Simple English Wikipedia and not in any other. Open any of these articles, for example Aepyornis or Gun language.

Observed: "Simple English" appears a gray interlanguage link.
