Translation is repeating a phrase from a few sentences earlier on longer text

I have a paragraph I am trying to translate from English to Norwegian. The model performs well for the most part until it hits one particular section and then repeats something it had already translated prior in the paragraph. Why is this occurring? Example image provided below. The green text is the Norwegian text that is being used correctly at this time but is repeated incorrectly later while the yellow highlighted text is where it is being repeated incorrectly. The section highlighted in blue is the corresponding section of the yellow highlighted text from the English input.

Hi, thanks for your question. I think this is the hallucination happening at the inference time, and nothing to do with the implementation. For improvement, I would suggest fine-tuning on a specific language direction of your interest. Please let know me of your further concerns.
