Fix bug with article wrongly showing as present in target language because of a previous search

NoN Already fixed

  • Problem: When using the machine translation service, a bug pops up after you try and translate an article that doesn't exist in English. When browsing the search bar for articles that don't exist in English, you might click an article that already has an article in English, and see a little yellow box pop up telling you it has an article. This is perfectly fine, but after you go on to an article that doesn't have an English form, the same little box will pop up again, even though there's no English equivalent. When you go on to try and translate the article, a warning is given that the English article already exists (and it doesn't). If you can translate from French you can try this by searching up Seconde Guerre mondiale and once they give you the box, proceed to visit an untranslated article such as the Régiment des Étrangers de Dunkerque.
  • Who would benefit: Editors who use the translation feature
  • Proposed solution: Fix the bug so the box does not work when you click on an untranslated page.
