Remove UTF and other Umbraco Tags from RichText

I’m trying to translate a richtext value in a blockgrid via google translate API. It is causing an issue when I save the translated result to the bodyText property with method content.SetValue(propertyAlias, value, culture, segment). Umbraco won’t set the value coming from the translator. Not sure if I need to remove stuff like the following before sending to the translator: \u0022markup\u0022:\u0022\\u003 \\u003C/h3\\u003E\u0022,\u0022blocks\u0022:{\u0022contentData\u0022:,\u0022settingsData\u0022:,\u0022expose\u0022:,\u0022Layout\u0022:{}}}

I tried HTML aglity pack innerhtml before sending the html to the translator and then using HTMLDecode on the translated result. This didn’t fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Umbraco is logging the following error:

System.Text.Json.JsonException: '/' is invalid after a value. Expected either ',', '}', or ']'. Path: $ | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 25.

I discovered that the richtext tiptap data was storing everything in a JSON object. After realizing this I saw I could deserialize the richtext value to an object class . Then I sent only the markup property value html encoded to the translator API. When the translator sent the translated result back I then updated the block grid value with the html decoded result and everything worked.
