Garbled html in Korean translations

[jmgomezpoveda]

A file in English containing some html code gets garbled when translating to Korean.

<a href="showitem.php">Show</a> some text that goes here

output:

"\u003ca href\u003dshowitem.php\u003e표시\u003c/a\u003e 여기에 들어가는 일부 텍스트"

This does not occur in the Google Translate web interface:

여기에 들어가는 일부 텍스트 <a href="showitem.php">표시</a>

This is working fine when translating to other languages; only Korean seems affected among the languages I have tested.

What version of gawk are you running? (Is it 5.1.x?)

If your trans is already up-to-date then I suggest updating to gawk 5.2.1 and try again, for I noticed a bug when pattern-matching Unicode strings (specifically for those including Korean characters) in gawk 5.1, which seems to be fixed in newer versions.

That is correct! I was using gawk 5.1.0. I've just upgraded to 5.2.1 as per your advice, and with the latest version of trans the translation looks great now.

Very good. I'm closing this issue as fixed.
