The first step went well, I think. Could someone please confirm if SO and SOH are two symbols (or SO and H) ? Or PM me.
EDIT - found the characterlist. Confirmation not needed.

The substition keeps me busy sometime. Not lucky so far choosing the most frequent first letters. Obviously the puzzlemaker found a text with less E's and T's ??
My focus is now on the (SOHDC3ETX)TABTAB word. In combination with the first word SOHDC3 this should be a good start, but haven't found it yet. Could someone confirm that the TABTAB-word is a normal word (and not a place or a name) ?

That group translates to a 5-letter acronym which, if you have found a translation thus far, you should already know. TAB translates to a single character, in this case repeated.

Thanks for reacting. THO

You were faster than I could edit my post.
I'm probably on the right track (we could call it a name).

Gratulations on your 12000th post. Thumbs up
