& nbsp; shown in some translations

[dany]

Hi,

we use GTranslate Pro on our website and since last week we see some problems with translations.

& nbsp; is shown on some pages in certain languages (different language translations show different & nbsp; on the page).

We use Joomla! 2.5.24.
I used Google chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 / Firefox 32.0.2

you can for example have a look at
http://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve/comparison
http://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve/features
and change language to german, russian, french, spanish,.... sometimes & nbsp; is shown, sometimes not.

this didn't happen until now. Do you have an idea what the problem could be and why it appears now?
Could you please help to find a solution?
Thanks,
Daniela

Hi,

Can you please write step-by-step what I need to do to see it, I have tried your mentioned languages, but have not noticed what you describe.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

- please go to http://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve/features
- switch language to e.g. German, so that you are on http://www.proxmox.com/de/proxmox-ve/features
- search for "& nbsp;"

The same happens for example on http://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve/comparison, but also on other sites. "& nbsp;" does appear in some languages, but not in all.

Thanks,
Daniela

Hi,

You will need to manually make corrections, since it is how Google translates your text or use regular space instead of   in your articles.

Thank you!

Hi,

I did now make manual corrections.
Following steps and problems:
The page http://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve/pricing has the html code for the pricing section: <h2>€ 4,16<span style="font-size: 10pt;"> / CPU &amp; month</span> </h2>

In the English page it shows correct: " € 4,16 / CPU & month "
- if you select the e.g. French translation it shows: € 4,16 / CPU & amp; mois
- If you select the German translations it shows only: 4,16 € / CPU
-- I did manually change the German translation, in the text field I entered "CPU & Monat". And now it doesn't show any text after "CPU".
- If I try to add the special-character "&" anywhere in the translation, the word after the "&" is omitted.

Could you please check again if this might be a problem with GTranslate?

Thanks, Daniela

Hi,

Please use %26 instead of & when you are trying to save.

Thank you!
