The fault lies with your iPhone and Safari and not with ProZ.com, if I understand correctly. Reader Mode analyzes the page and then changes its view, so perhaps it simply isn't smart enough to handle a site like ProZ.com.

So it is indeed a browser-related issue.

Off topic but a great feature: Firefox for iOS allows you to search web pages for words.
