What article on docs.github.com is affected?

Multiple localized versions of GitHub Docs pages are affected.
For example:

• English (correct rendering):
  https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/exploring-projects-on-github/contributing-to-open-source

• Chinese (Simplified):
  https://docs.github.com/zh/get-started/exploring-projects-on-github/contributing-to-open-source

• Japanese:
  https://docs.github.com/ja/get-started/exploring-projects-on-github/contributing-to-open-source

This issue appears in multiple localized pages, not limited to a single article.

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

In non-English localized versions (e.g., Chinese and Japanese), some inline Markdown links are incorrectly rendered as code blocks.

Problem details

The Markdown link [text](url) is wrapped inside a code block (```), causing it to render as plain text instead of a clickable link.

This breaks usability because users cannot click through to referenced documentation.

Expected behavior

• Links should render as normal inline links (not inside code blocks).
• Localization should preserve correct Markdown structure.
• Links should remain clickable and consistent with the English version.

Why this should be fixed

• Affects usability of documentation for non-English users.
• Prevents navigation to related docs.
• Likely a systematic localization or Markdown processing issue affecting multiple pages.

Additional information

• Yes, the issue is reliably reproducible.
• It occurs consistently on multiple localized pages (e.g., Chinese and Japanese versions).
• This suggests a broader issue in the localization pipeline or Markdown rendering process.
• The problem is not isolated and may affect many users who rely on non-English documentation.
