Hi,

we've translated all pages automatically but some of the sentences are broken into separate words and therefore not translated correctly. How can we fix this situation?

Thanks,
Claudia

Hi there,

This is expected behavior, however, as you mentioned sometimes certain sentences need to not be broken, in this case, you can join the sentences.

See here for more information:

Let me know your results, please.

Hi Bobby,
thanks for your reply. I noticed that we can join sentences, but in this case we can't, please check screenshot. Is there any solution in this case?
Thanks, Claudia

Elements that are from blocking elements cannot be joined (example different divs) which is why these strings cannot

See a video explanation here:

Most likely there is some HTML that is causing this behavior, please review the content in the code/html editor.
