This is an issue that should be fixed with data cleaning. I reproduce with:

In the es -> en model:

Source:

9% de descuento por todas las compras superiores a 50€
Cupón de descuento: PIASALUD9

Target:

9% discount for all purchases over 50o
Discount coupon: PIASALUD9

Hi,
I was trying to reproduce this issue on my browser.
When I try to translate https://www.casapia.com/content/2-promociones to English, a lot of things on the page just disappear, so I am not able to see The symbol "€" converted into "o". Should I reproduce using any particular version.

Or should I start with investigating the problem of page elements disappearing after translation?

I would like to work on this bug. I am familiar with the Mozilla codebase for Translations.

Regards,
Meera

I don't know what happened but it now translates for me "€" into it's text form "euros" which is correct.

Also see "EXWAHLKRITERIEN" it isn't translated here: https://www.prad.de/test-kaufberatung/produktsuche/monitor-suche-datenbank/

This sounds like issues around the TranslationsDocument which would be separate issues. Many of these issues can be blamed by Bug 1837424, although they require investigation on an individual basis.

I would like to work on this bug. I am familiar with the Mozilla codebase for Translations.

This issue is not fixable here, as it's a data cleaning problem that lives in: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations-training

This bug is useful to track the fix after we have fixed, but I don't think it's ready to be worked on.
