Strange characters and extra spaces when using OPUS MT

Claudia Dornelles

I've just installed Opus and the translation is showing all these weird characters and extra spaces between letters. Does anyone know how I can fix it?

I couldn't attach a screenshot here, but the below is what I get:

    Hello,

    The issue you're experiencing with strange characters and extra spaces in your translation output from Opus MT seems to be related to encoding. This is similar to the issue described in the context where strange characters appear when opening an HTML file in a web browser due to the way the browser reads the character entities in the HTML document.

    Here's how you can try to resolve this:

    Step 1: Check the encoding settings in your Trados Studio. Ensure that it's set to Unicode (UTF-8). You can do this by going to the project settings and checking the language pair settings.

    Step 2: If the issue persists, you might want to check the encoding settings of the document you're translating. If it's not set to UTF-8, you might want to convert it to UTF-8 before importing it into Trados Studio.

    Step 3: If the issue still persists, it might be an issue with the Opus MT plugin. You might want to check for updates for the plugin or reinstall it.

    Remember, it's always a good idea to keep your Trados Studio and its plugins up to date to ensure optimal performance and to avoid issues like this.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Best regards,
