Hi,
I am not able to translate a product into Greak and Italian. All other languages seem to be ok.
I have tried to delete the product and set it up again with a new id, but this did not solve the problem.
We have afterwards translated other products, and this works ok.
I get this error message:

Hi Peter,

I have checked the translation job and found one string,

30s

, coming from the Table element. This string is not being translated by ATE and is being returned as blank.

Because of this, WPML is rejecting the translated file.

I am checking with our team to understand why ATE is returning an empty value in this case. If no translation is required, it should return the same string instead of leaving it blank.

I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.

Thanks.

Hi Sumit,

This is very strange, because I actually tried to delete the tables completely and I was still not able to translate to Greek and Italian.

Anyway, I have changed the text in table cells, and now I was able to translate the product.

The problem is solved on this specific product.

Hi Peter,

Our team has identified the problem. It happens with text starting with the

<

sign, for example,

<30s

.

The content parser is having an issue parsing this type of text correctly. Our team has escalated the issue further, and it will be fixed.

For now, you can continue using the workaround you already applied by adding a space between the less-than sign and the text, for example,

< 30s

.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Thanks.

Hi Sumit

Thanks for the update.

Please tell your colleagues to check it for both the less-than sign “<” and the greater-tan sign “>” as this is often used in a data list for products.

I assume this will be fixed in the next release.

You decide if we can close this ticket or if we need to keep it open for follow-up.

Best regards
Peter

Hi,

Sure, I will let them know.

I am keeping this ticket open for now; it won't ping you as I am setting the status to waiting for us.

And I will send you an update once it is released.

Thanks
