XPath query for content of an XML attribute

Question

I use the file tye XML 2:OASIS DITA 1.3 in Trados Studio 2021 SR2 - 16.2.12.9338.

I have XML content that looks like this:

I need to make the content after content= translatable: Störung;Behebung;Leckage;Luftblase;Schlauch;Sensorfehler;Überdruckfehler;Systemflüssigkeit. The content is different in every file. The structure of the XML element is always <othermeta content="" name="keyword"/>.

I have been struggling to define an XPath query; I'm not even sure this sort of filtering can be done with an XPath query...

Jennifer Schaar I made up a file like this: Getting at content

Extract the content attribute

Added a rule like this: //*/othermeta/@content Looks like this showing the content of the content attribute, when part of the othermeta element, extracted for translation: I guess you could easily create a segmentation rule in your TM to segment on the semi-colon so it's easier to translate and leverage in the future.
