Hi all,

I have been translating a large amount of words with OmegaT, importing a .txt document as source text.

I've been updating and changing the translation each day and tried twice to open the target document to check if I was doing everything right. And everything seemed to be ok.

Today, I saved the last changes and created a new target document, but when I opened it, I saw only weird characters like the following:

Now, what am I supposed to do to obtain my target document? Can anybody help with that?

Thanks,

tags? Feb 8, 2013

It sounds like your tags are messed up. Did you Validate Tags before closing the document? Ctrl T.

What is the source file encoding? Feb 9, 2013

And did you try to open the target file with manually specifying the encoding?
