Go to http://recommend.wmflabs.org/ - When I choose a source language as say Russian or any language with non-Latin characters - ie- when there is URL encoding - and English as the target - I see recommendations but when I click on that page it fails to load anything and the interface cannot proceed further. But it all works fine if I go from the translate links on the left - for instance the German article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daheim_sterben_die_Leut%E2%80%99 works fine if I use the translate link on the bar on the left column but the same article via the above recommend page fails (presumably due to the URL encoding and decoding) My system language is English and I use a Firefox browser (54.0.1).
