  1. There is known issue with Georgian font, example source, which cause some word to display as missing, as a rectangle. There is similar selecting a wiki article as missing. I'm translating this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_effect, and this authors Georgian article is saved like this
  2. I'm not sure if this issue, but shouldn't missing articles be displayed as red? For some reason I can't mark article as missing, if I got right CT automatically creates articles with just a title. like the one liked above of Thomas Gilovich.

2. Marking as missing generates a red link, also displayed in red. The gray marked replacement of a missing link will not be created as any link.

The Google autotranslation has problems, due the Georgian destination articles does not exist. So Google translator assumes the correct translations and the CXT does not find any article, sometimes coping the source, non-translated article name. This is the reason why the link is displayed in blue, suggesting an existing article.

Is requires more manual work, creating and naming and linking the missing articles.

The red links issue is a known bug. It will be resolved.

Can you please explain a bit more about the capital letter issue? At which point does this happen? Does this happen only with Content Translation?

Mtavruli is a different version of Georgian letters. You may say it's capital letters (some don't agree, not the point here). These Mtavruli letters have been added to UNICODE but and it is considered as Georgian capital letters. The issue is that it is not yet supported by -how to put it- browsers and operating system, and for user it is displayed as rectangles. Here are more technical details in case of Chrome browser.

So, in Content Translation it happens when I try to edit link to a missing article, there are screenshots is previous comment.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the general problem about Mtavruli letters. But can you please describe the steps you took to arrive at the situation that appears on the screenshot at https://i.imgur.com/PojH7oe.jpg ? I cannot reproduce it myself.
