Storyline 360 project translation. Sldie names being tagged for translation

Cheers. R+D is not permitted by our organization unfortunately. Its not the issue of the naming of the slides, it is the fact that importing the translated XLF file is the issue as it flags "R&D" as it reads & as a code. We do not use menu systems in our courses.

I can go into the translated project file and manually put back R&D but its extra steps that I would like to avoid, especially as each module we create has to be translated into 20 languages through translation systems and they can export the tags incorrectly also.
