Hi, the \translateinput command has a problem with discretionaries in the replacement text. In the following example \usemodule[translate] \translateinput[Auflage][Auf|*|lage] \starttext Auflage \enableinputtranslation Auflage \stoptext I get a error message. ! Undefined control sequence. l.11 Auf\CCC :4:124 *\CCC:4:124 lage I could prevent the message after I protected the | signs with \translateinput[Auflage][Auf\string|*\string|lage] but can't this be done in the \translateinput macro itself.
