Exception: Unknown text tag u'\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f'

[benbendeben]

After I translated the game into Chinese using Translator++. Running the game, I had this problem. I don't know where I went wrong.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While processing text tag {������} in u'{\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f}\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f:  {/\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f} \u6211\u53ef\u4ee5\u7ed9\u8c01\u6253\u7535\u8bdd\uff1f'.:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While processing text tag {������} in u'{\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f}\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f:  {/\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f} \u6211\u53ef\u4ee5\u7ed9\u8c01\u6253\u7535\u8bdd\uff1f'.:

    u "我可以给谁打电话？"
Exception: Unknown text tag u'\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f'

Well, er... there's two issue here.

Firstly, what trigger Ren'Py. The translation string starts by a text tag that shouldn't be here. I guess something that should looks like "{/" followed by three Chinese characters, then "}". Remove it and everything should be alright.
If really you need to write a "{", you should double ( "{{" ) it to tell Ren'Py that it's not a tag.

Secondly the error message should looks like :

While processing text tag {doNotExist} in u'{doNotExist}BBB'.:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 550, in script
    mc "AAA"
Exception: Unknown text tag u'doNotExist'

It's exactly the same issue, the translated string include a tag that don't exist.
But the error location point to "game/script.rpy", not to "game/tl/schinese/script.rpy" like in your error. This with the same version of Ren'Py.

You aren't putting all the code into the file, right ? There's just the translation instructions, something looking like:

# game/script.rpy:550
translate french start_3ad69bc8:

    old "AAA"
    new "{doNotExist}BBB"
