Change #1188685 had a related patch set uploaded (by Wangombe; author: Wangombe):
[mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation@master] AX: Default to source title if cxserver token not available
This issue occurs due to a missing cxserver token on this endpoint --> https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v2/?doc#/Suggestions/get_v2_suggest_title__title___from___to_ perhaps due to the language pair in this situation which is pt-en. Defaulting the the source title would be an ideal option as a fallback.
Change #1188685 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation@master] AX: Default to source title if cxserver token not available
https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v2/?doc - some of the endpoints are not available outside the ContentTranslation. Special:AutomaticTranslations doesn't operate within this scope. As much as some title fetching works, it only does because the default MT in the language pair selected doesn't require and authorization token to begin with. I suspect this is to protect API limits on services like Google translate.
Here is a screenshot of the deployed patch. https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AutomaticTranslation?page=Jo%C3%A3o+Ribeiro+%28pol%C3%ADtico+brasileiro%29&from=pt&to=en&step=translation
We opted to show the source title along with the language name the title is in.
Can we force MinT provider the same way we do for the content? Then it would at least be internally consistent.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2025-10-07T06:44:04Z] <kart_> Updated cxserver to 2025-10-06-084053-production (T394982, T403574)
I see calls to https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v2/suggest/title/ with MinT as a parameter. Additionally the title is rendered properly.
