+### Machine Translation (MT) issue: links/image handling
+
+Crowdin recently rolled out some major changes to the markdown file format and now the links are treated differently than they were before. Before they were considered as tags, but now they appear as plain text. Because of these changes the plain text links are passed to the MT engine which attempts to translate the target, thus breaking the translation (for instance: this string `Allez voir [ma merveilleuse page](/ma-merveilleuse-page)` is translated `Check out [my wonderful page](/my-wonderful-page)`, and this breaks docusaurus i18n workflow as the page name should not be translated).
+
+As of 2023 Dec.7, they are not planning to change the logic of how links are treated, so you should have this in mind if you plan to use Crowdin with MT.
