Possible fixes

As you can see above I cannot replicate this by posting a simple post in Español/Spanish. The translate works fine. Also repeated this for Deutsch/German and got the same results.

So I'd presume there is a common factor linking the two example posts above. One of them has a 'Clover' character that could be messing things up, the other doesn't really appear to have any special characters (plenty of non-English but all pretty standard characters) but is long.

I wonder whether there's an error being thrown and not being reported.
