Default to empty box on "automatic translation failed"

I am currently trying to translate English articles to Simple English. For obvious reasons, machine translation does not work here. However, when I click "add translation" I simply get a message saying the translation failed, and I cannot type or begin the process at all. It still forces me to try again to "add translation" per-paragraph, which, again, doesn't work. This is clearly an oversight and a regression from a few years ago when I remember it working properly. Please fix. Thanks.


Edit: There seems to be a "copy original content" option but even now I have no idea how I managed to find it. Perhaps it should be more visible? Pop up on a failed translation?

Is this happening to all translations or any specifc article? The "copy original content" is the default option for English-> Simple English. When you click on "Add translation", this must be the option applied there. See screenshot Is it possible to look at the developer console and tell the error if any when you get errors(Right click->Inspect, goto Console)?

I can no longer reproduce the issue I was experiencing. Sorry.
