Hello,

It seems I'm dealing with similar issue.

I've noticed that Trados Studio (2019 Professional) is changing the key code in the generated HTML files. The source file says: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />, whereas the generated target files states: <meta charset="UTF-8">. There are two issues here: the code has been changed and <meta> tag is not self-closed, which generates an error in Adobe RoboHelp 2020 (where the source HTML file was created). It requires manual adjustment of the code (<meta charset="UTF-8" />) from me. I have hundreds of files to be processed, so I'd rather avoid any manual modifications in the target files.

Can I fix it in the settings or is it a bug? I'd be grateful for some tips!

Hi Sylwia Bylica

In HTML, tags don't need to be self-closed (e.g. <br />). In XHTML they do. The declaration says it's an HTML file, but the application seems to expect XHTML. There is an XHTML file type definition in Studio - maybe try that?

BTW. your issue is quite unrelated to the three-year-old issue above. It's always better to start a new thread than to attach to a very old one unless you are indeed referring to the case that was discussed then.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your reply. I'll keep this in mind in future.

I tried to use XHTML settings for that HTML file, but Trados doesn't recognize it that way.
