Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the page hidden link into Spanish. I attempted to duplicate the page and translate it bit by bit.

Symptoms:
The translation refuses to save and notifies that there is still formatting that isn't included. The page gets hung up and won't save, returning to the dashboard. I expected to see 100% translated but got 92% translated. There is a prompt asking if I want to update my translation memory.

Questions:
Why does the translation refuse to save?
How can I resolve the formatting issue?
Why is the page getting hung up during translation?
How can I achieve 100% translation?

Hello,

You need to set the HTML markers identically as seen on the original content.

After that you will be able to save the segment.

Best regards
Andreas

Yes, I added all the html markers that were available. There were markers for the linebreaks in the original version but they weren't avaiable int he translated version. I repeatedly added every single marker and still get the error.
