What do you meant by links not working?
Can you explain what is wrong in screenshot? Is this a screenshot of source column?
How did you open the link? When I control+click a link in source column I see it open in source language wiki.

@KartikMistry, can you please add details?

This may have been resolved by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/204738/ and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/217491/ , but requires testing.

OK, it's not resolved, and I can reproduce it consistently myself, and it's actually quite simple:

Open an article for translation, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozyory,%20Moscow%20Oblast from English to Hebrew.
Move your mouse over the links in the source section and watch the bottom status bar for the link target.

Expected: the link from the English article column to "Moscow" must point to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow .
Observed: It points to https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow - 'he' instead of 'en'.
