As part of MinT for Wikipedia Readers MVP (T359072), when selecting language pairs for the machine translation in Confirm step (T359512), the user selection seems to be ignored.
In the example below, the initial search for "Elephant" is done on English Wikipedia with the default language pairs for the Home step ("all" → "English"). After selecting the article from the search results, the "Confirm" step is shown. There, the language pair is adjusted to be "English → Spanish". However, accessing the translation results in contents being displayed in a language different than Spanish (notice the presence of characters such as ô, ö or ' that are not present in Spanish).
In contrast, when the same adjustment is done at the Home step, the issue is not present (i.e., the machine translation hows content in Spanish). Interestingly, the source content structure seems different. So it is not clear whether the issues comes from a problem updating the source or the target language indicated. Below you can check screenshots of both cases:
| Setting the language pair at the Confirm step results in contents being displayed in an unexpected language. | Setting the language pair at the Home step results in the contents being displayed in the expected language. |
