Closing brackets missing from the translations in the TM

Question

Hello,

I have a problem with missing brackets (>) from the translations in the TM.

There are a lot of sentences including texts enclosed with <> (e.g. <_product>) translated and saved in a TM. When I translate a new sentence with the brackets, the TM does not offer the existing translations correctly. Closing brackets go missing from the translations.

I will explain this problem with an example.

There is a source text: Import the calendar to [tag]<_product>[/tag]

This was translated and saved in TM (カレンダーを [tag]<_product>[/tag] にインポート). In a new file, there is exactly the same sentence, but without the tags. When I open the segment in Studio, the closing bracket is missing from the translation:

カレンダーを <_product にインポート

Does Studio understand brackets (<>) as a part of the tag? Unfortunately, I cannot see what kind of tags were used in the translation. When I open the TU via Edit Translation Unit, only purple lines are shown where tags and <> are...

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Satoe

Hi Satoe Ideguchi-Nthara 
 
It would help to have a cople of screenshots I think as it sounds as though you may be comparing tags interpreted as text in your TM with tags interpreted as tags. This could account for missing tags at the end of a sentence... but some more visual clues would be helpful.
