High maths content prohibits publishing

Hi! I ran into a problem with an article I am translating. It contains a number of equations, which obviously do not need translation or changes. When I try to publish the translation, I am not allowed to do so: "Your translation cannot be published because it contains too much unmodified text." Is there a way to work around this limitation? Either by accessing the translated wiki code so that I can publish it directly, or by disabling the checks (on equations) for the translated article. Thank you!

Click off all warnings on the right column, but have each a review. Then try to pulish again.

Yeah, I've tried doing that for all 20 warnings. Same result. I managed by deleting all equations, publishing it, and they putting the equation manually back in.

Thanks for the feedback, @KlaudiuMihaila.

We are in the process of adjusting the limits to make sure that translations are edited enough. This is an iterative process and your feedback is very important to make sure that limits are not too strict or too lax to cause problems. As you mentioned, math formulas are not expected to be changed and they should not count as problematic content. I created a ticket to capture the issue and we'll work on it to fix it.

Please, let us know if you find similar issues or you have any comment about the information about the limits that I linked above.

Thanks!

I have to NOT translate all math equations and enter it manually into the translated version
