Emojis

[edvilme]

Hello! I enjoy using this service very much! Congrats and thanks to the community :D

I have noticed that emoji are parsed into the text and was wondering if there was a way to escape \uXXXX (unicode for emoji), treating them as proper nouns as to preserve them?
I would like to do any type of contribution but wanted to make sure if it is currently possible before messing around with the code.

Thanks in advance

Hey @edvilme ✋ that would be a cool addition. I haven't experimented with emojis much, but I would assume it's probably possible to make it work (like you say, by escaping them into nouns).

This might be better suited as a PR for https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate though, since it's the translation engine.

Hi guys,
It looks unstable.

It fails.
Sometime it remove some emoji from text.
Sometime it replace emoji with some other text.

Its telegram emoji that I used in pic. ✅

It mean it fixed in code but NOT fixed yet on api ?

It's fixed in the code that processes the data for training models but the Spanish model hasn't been retrained since this fix was made.
