XLIFF IMPORT NOTES into Comments

Question

I have this working, but now the teams have added a second NOTES field as seen below:

<trans-unit id="confirmDeliveredBeamMUbtn" datatype="html">

<note priority="1" from="description">TRACEABILITY-ea-rad-confirmdeliveredbeammubtn</note>

<note priority="1" from="meaning">CONTEXT-ea-rad-confirmdeliveredbeammubtn</note>

The only one I see in my Passolo Comments is the second one where form = "meaning".

Here is the parsing file:

Screenshot of Trados Studio XML editor showing a trans-unit element with id 'confirmDeliveredBeamMUbtn'. Two note elements are visible, one with priority '1' from 'description' and another with priority '1' from 'meaning'. Both notes are highlighted in blue.

You can see that both the notes are shown in blue and I was expecting that they would both be added to comments, but no such luck. Just the one.

Is this something that can be done?

Passolo supports only one entry to be extracted as comment, but you can choose which one by checking for the attribute, using one of the following rules: 
 
 parent::*/descendant::pdns:note[attribute::from='description'] parent::*/descendant::pdns:note[attribute::from='meaning'] 
 
 This works fine as long as the value for the from attribute is consistent. 
 
 Hope this helps you.
