Hello!

I have a project that has many segments like:

(cf font=Arial)Sentence begins (/cf)(cf font=Times New Roman) (/cf)(cf font=Arial>and ends.(/cf)

The less than and more than characters are replaced with brackets here, otherwise the tags are removed from post.

So there is a space before tags, then after tags, causing a double blank.
Trados QA does not detect the issue, neither does Xbench. Is there a simple way for detecting an issue like that?

Only by creating the target translations and searching from there?

Thanks in advance! ▲ Collapse

In fact Xbench detects this issue, you just need to select the Ignore Tags option.
