Azure Document Translation cannot translate words contains _

Question

Hi

I am using document translator where few words are not getting translate like menu_prive_zakelijk this is in dutch which says menu_private_business. In document translator its same as menu_prive_zakelijk.

@Shwetha V I believe this is an expected result as per the design or model behind the API. The special character _ is normally not used to distinguish/sperate words in a sentence or a document because these can be a email address with _ that would not need any translation. If a comma(,) is used the words will be translated. You can lookup the same with the translate API directly.

I would recommend to pre-process documents that contain such words to replace them with a comma to ensure the translated document is accurate in the target language.
