I have translated a .xtg file with Tag Editor, the Greek letters are shown correctly in the translation, but once I clean up, they turn into strange characters!
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I should do in order to deliver my client a correct file?
Thank you!

So, why don't you just let your client try if this file is usable and let us know if the problem persists?

Hello,

after the client inserted the translation into Quark Express, the characters were shown correctly again.
Thank you very much for the help!
