Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Try to translate an article from en to de on desktop.
- You should notice that MT is not available - because ContentTranslationEnableMT is set to false for the dewiki in production
- Try to translate an article from en to de on mobile (go all the way to the "Pick a sentence" step).
What happens?:
MT is available.
What should have happened instead?:
MT should not be available both on desktop and mobile for wikis that have ContentTranslationEnableMT set to false.
Derived Requirement
Ensure that the ContentTranslationEnableMT configuration parameter is respected on both desktop and mobile platforms. If machine translation (MT) is disabled for a target wiki (e.g., dewiki), MT should not be available at any step of the translation workflow—regardless of device or skin.
Test Steps
Test Case 1: Verify MT is not available on desktop when ContentTranslationEnableMT is false
- Open the Content Translation tool on desktop (vector or desktop mode).
- Select a source language (e.g., English) and a target language where MT is disabled (e.g., German/dewiki).
- Select any article and proceed to the translation interface.
- ✅❓❌⬜ AC1: Confirm that machine translation is not offered as an option in the sidebar or under the source paragraph and the initial sentence or paragraph appears as unmodified source text (no MT prefill or suggestion)..
Test Case 2: Verify MT is not available on mobile when ContentTranslationEnableMT is false
- Open the Content Translation tool on a mobile device or using responsive design emulation in Chrome DevTools (emulate Pixel 5 or iPhone 13).
- Select source: English; target: German (dewiki).
- Select an article and proceed through to the "Pick a sentence" step.
- ✅❓❌⬜ AC2: Confirm that machine translation is not offered during sentence selection or in any UI element and the tool does not show any MT engine name (e.g., Google, Apertium, etc.) or prefilled translations.
