Description

The Search step (T359494) of MinT for wiki Readers allows users to search for an article to get a machine translated version.
Currently, on Test Wikipedia searching for an article ("Moon" in the example) shows no results:

The Javascript console shows the following error:

For other wikis, the issue does not seem to happen. So maybe it is not affecting those in the pilot group for the experiment. However, this seems to suggest some glitch in the language pair logic, that we may want to investigate to better understand the impact.
