===Syntax terms===
<table class="syntaxTable">
<tr><th>%reason</th>
<td>This TranslationExceptionReason enumeration value describes the reason for the translation failure.
</td></tr>
<tr><th>%chTransEx</th>
<td>A reference to an instance of a CharacterTranslationException object.
 
</td></tr></table>
==Usage notes==
<ul>
<li>A TranslationExceptionReason enumeration may have one of the following values:
<dl>
<dt>InvalidEncoding
<dd>An example of invalid encoding is UTF-16 string input to
<var>[[Utf16ToUnicode (String function)|Utf16ToUnicode]]</var> that contains bytes whose hexadecimal
value is D800 (which is in the surrogates range).
<dt>InvalidCharacterReference
<dd>An XML-style hexadecimal character reference (for example, <code>&amp;amp;#x2122;</code>
for the trademark character) may validly represent a Unicode character to
be translated.
Any other string that begins with by an ampersand (&amp;) &amp;mdash;
except the string <code>&amp;amp;amp;</code> &amp;mdash;
might cause an exception explained by an InvalidCharacterReference enumeration.
 
For example, such an exception occurs if
<var>[[EbcdicToUnicode (String function)|EbcdicToUnicode]]</var> is called, the method argument is
<code>CharacterDecode=True</code>, and the method input
contains an ampersand followed by a space.
<dt>UntranslatableCharacter
<dd>The following are examples of untranslatable characters
(with the translation tables as delivered by Sirius):
<ul>
<li>The EBCDIC input to the EbcdicToUnicode method
contains a byte whose hexadecimal value is X'FF.
<li>The Unicode input to <var>[[UnicodeToEbcdic (Unicode function)|UnicodeToEbcdic]]</var>
contains one of the many
Unicode characters that is not translated to an EBCDIC character
(for example, U+20AC, the Euro currency symbol).
</ul>
</dl>
<li>As with all enumerations, you use
the <code>ToString</code> method to convert an enumeration value to a
character string whose value is the name of the enumeration value.
</ul>
