    hexadecimal value 0x1f is an invalid character

    Translation Manager Feedback
    Umbraco 8

    I get this error while trying to translate a Dutch text to English. There seems to be a character somewhere that is invalid? What is the fastest way to get this solved?

    Hi,

    Yeah i am not sure 😔 - Its happening quite deep in the Xliff processor, so i don't think we can isolate it by property or anything just yet.

    Quick scan and i think its a windows control character that we should probably throw away.

    But as to finding it on a current site, best i can suggest it try to send chucks of the site to translation and see if you can narrow it down

    Hi Kevin, I have a very similar issue. Im using Umbraco 9. On the first run im getting the following error:

    '', hexadecimal value 0x03, is an invalid character.

    I've tried searching for the character in the database with:

    SELECT        id, versionId, propertyTypeId, languageId, segment, intValue, decimalValue, dateValue, varcharValue, textValue
FROM            umbracoPropertyData
WHERE        (varcharValue LIKE '%' + CHAR(0x03) + '%') OR
                         (textValue LIKE '%' + CHAR(0x03) + '%')

    to no avail.

    Its bit of show stopper. Do you not think the pluggin should just strip out the control characters? like here: https://seattlesoftware.wordpress.com/tag/hexadecimal-value-0x-is-an-invalid-character/

    Cheers Mark
