When [[ https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Traducci%C3%B3n_de_contenidos&from=en&to=es&page=Meg+Johnson&targettitle=Meg+Johnson | translating the Meg Johnson article from English to Spanish ]] an infobox based on the [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_writer | Infobox writer template ]] is in the source article. This template [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5615832#sitelinks-wikipedia | is not available in Spanish ]]{F34946467}. However, adding it to the translation results in the Infobox Writer template added to the translation and a "translation failed" message shown:
{F34946469, size=full}
The expected behaviour would be for the template not to be added to the translation and a warning indicating that the template is not available to be shown.
Additional observations:
- In Spanish Wikipedia there is [[ https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Plantilla:Infobox_writer&redirect=no | a redirect for "Infobox writer" ]] to a different template ([[ https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantilla:Ficha_de_persona | Plantilla:Ficha_de_persona ]]). But since it is not connected on Wikidata it is not expected to interfere.
- A warning for the template not being available is shown. However, it seems to be treated as an in-line template where the source contents are supposed to be added as plain text. However, the source contents are added here as a template instead.
- When the article is loaded an error is shown related to the MT which does not seem to happen in other articles. So it may be related to the pre-fetching of the translation for this content. (video below)
