<p>during the day, writing letters, conversing and praying and singing. Between three, and four o'clock at the Prophet's request, Apostle Taylor sang this sweet and comforting poem: </p>
<blockquote>
<p class="poetry"> A poor wayfaring man of grief, <br/>  Hath often cross'd me on my way, <br/>  Who sued so humbly for relief<br/>  That I could never answer  <em>Nay</em>. <br/> </p>

The above code returns this:

As you can see, the translate_text() with Formality.MORE did not translate the text "A poor wayfaring man..."

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Thanks for reporting, I can replicate this. This looks like an issue related to our translation models, so we cannot give an ETA when this will be fixed, sorry. I reported it internally to the team responsible for the models and they will take it into account.

One thing I noticed is that you set the tag handling to xml, but pass in HTML code - tag_handling=html is probably a better fit (unfortunately it does not resolve this issue, I checked).
