Hello,
Our email specialist is having issues with the HTML files I translate in Trados Studio 2017. He says that Trados is changing key code on the HTML. He sent me a screenshot of the errors, which I shared below. Any ideas on what may be causing the problem?
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!
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.
