Lingo does not recognize a double-byte character in a cell

[Magdalene]

Hi all,

I have just run into a problem in segmentation of a double-byte character by Lingo V9.
When I translate a source htm in a Flare project (V9.1), I found that a double-byte character in table cells were ignored (no segment found on Lingo V9) thus it was untranslated, despite the presence of applicable translation pair in the TM in use.
Reviewing the source Flare project, I realized the same problem was observed in other double-byte characters of which description in text editor went as follows:

<td class="TableStyle-H_Basic-BodyE-ColumnCenter-Body1">
<p>×</p>
</td>

A double-byte character inside <p> tags are not recognized as the segment that requires translation on Lingo V9.
Trados recognizes the same double-byte code with no problem
Has anyone encountered this problem? Does anybody know good workaround?

Hi Marvin,

Thank you for your advice. I am sorry for not replying to you soon.
Actually I have already sent a bug report to the customer support with a bundled project, and they were able to reproduce the problem.
The case is now handled as Bug report #99253.
So far I have found that the characters that cause this problem are double-byte symbols, such as white circle (Unicode hex: 25CB), em dash (Unicode hex: 2014) and the like.

Hope this bug will be solved in next version.
