Why is MT inconsistent even when context is clear

[SafeTex]

Hello Tommi and all

I'd like to know why MT is so inconsistent, even when context is super clear, as in

I mean, Opus got the first occurrence "Menscykel" wrong and then got it right in the very next sentence.

Is this down to the capital letter again? I'm already running your regex to convert uppercase to lowercase but not where the first letter only is capitalized.

I'm now wondering if I should make everything lowercase?

In this case, the problem is probably the Markdown bold formatting (the double asterisks around the segment). If I remove the asterisks, the translations get better:

You could fix the problem either by using a pre-edit rule to strip markdown formatting before generating the MT, or preferably by using a Markdown file type in Studio (there is one, I think, although I haven't tested it), so that the Markdown formatting is shown as tags instead of plain text.
