Translation on Simple English Wikipedia

I noticed that a version of the Artificial general intelligence article did not exist on Simple English Wikipedia and I was considering creating it. Then I was (automatically?) suggested to try the translation feature. It defaulted to French, which was not helpful to me, I have no indication in my User Agent that I should be able to understand French so that is a questionable default, so then I selected English source and Simple English target.

But it seems that this is not a supported language, it says "translation services not available".

It would be nice if there was a machine translation model for a subset of English.

I was a bit surprised that the disambiguation text suddenly appeared but it kind of makes sense, however, I would prefer to have a simple outline of the body of the article in place first so I discarded this. I was also surprised that after I got rid of it, I couldn't see a way to add it back, should I want to do so, which is a little unforgiving.

I figured out how to add the sections of pairs and replace them as needed.

I was a little surprised to see that there was a definition (from WikiData?) shown right below the submitted article, but it's not clear that is because of the Content Translation tool.
