remove escape characacter from the reponse of webapi

Question

Hi i have a controller to return translations:

 [HttpGet("/api/getpublictranslations")]
    public async Task<Dictionary<string, string>> Getpublictranslations([FromQuery(Name = "locale")] string locale
    {
        try
        {
            return await _translationBusiness.GetPublicTranslation(locale);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            _logger.LogError(ex.Message, ex);
            throw;
        }
    }

when i test my api i have some escape character on the reponse of api normally \n and not \\n

because on db i have:

do you know how can i delete this escape character from reponse?

if you want to completely remove these characters try this : .Replace(" \\n", "") if you want to keep "end line" character try this : .Replace("\\n", "\n")

no i must return \n and it's not a caracter it's an escape added to the string – user1428798 Nov 19 '21 at 13:58
the second option I denoted, would do what you need. – R.Abbasi Nov 19 '21 at 17:10
