Annotation issue: transcript and english_transcript contain identical values in several configs

I found several samples in PolyAI/minds14 where the transcript and english_transcript fields contain exactly the same text, even for non-English language configs.

I checked all available configs and found the following cases:

Config Samples Identical transcript / english_transcript Percentage
zh-CN 502 10 1.99%
pl-PL 562 11 1.96%
cs-CZ 574 7 1.22%
pt-PT 604 6 0.99%
ru-RU 539 4 0.74%
ko-KR 592 3 0.51%
de-DE 611 0 0%
es-ES 486 0 0%
nl-NL 654 0 0%
fr-FR 539 0 0%
it-IT 696 0 0%

For non-English configs, I would expect transcript to contain the original-language transcription and english_transcript to contain its English translation, so these identical values look like possible annotation errors.

Below are all the affected samples I found:

Some of these examples also appear clearly English-like despite belonging to configs such as Czech, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese. This makes me suspect that, for these samples, the English translation may have been copied into the original transcript field, rather than this simply being a coincidental match.

Could you confirm whether these cases are expected, or whether they are annotation errors that should be corrected in the dataset?
