The initial text paragraph of the Tardigrade article presents issues when translated using MinT. This can be checked in different MinT-based products:
- In Content Translation, ([translating the Tardigrade article from English to Igbo](https://ig.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation?from=en&to=ig&page=Tardigrade&targettitle=Tardigrade))
- In MinT for Wiki Readers, [reading a machine translated version of the article](https://ig.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ih%C3%BC_k%C3%A1r%C3%ADr%C3%AD:AutomaticTranslation?page=Tardigrade&from=en&to=ig&step=translation).
In both cases, the translation from MinT seems to be filled with metadata coming from a template. In the case of Content Translation, the issue is not happening when using Google Translate as a translation service, as illustrated below:
