XPath expressions in Multilingual XML extracts only the first match

Question

Hello, 
 To insert terms for additional languages into a TBX file, I have added the necessary elements to the file and configured the Multilingual XML file type as follows: 
 
 Note that I also added a languages parent element to have the required languages root: 
 
 However, even though there are over 1700 German terms, only the first one is extracted: 
 
 According to the XQuery Builder in oXygen, the XPath expression for de-DE should match 1792 different items, but Trados Studio extracts the first entry 1810 times, which is the number of termEntry elements in the file. 
 What am I missing?

 In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question: 
 Hello, 
 It seems like you have correctly set up the Multilingual XML file type and the XPath expressions. However, Trados Studio is not extracting all the German terms as expected. This could be due to a few reasons: 
 Step 1: Check your XPath expression. Ensure that it is correctly written and that it matches the structure of your XML file. The XPath expression should be able to select all the German terms in your file. 
 Step 2: Ensure that the 'Languages Root' and 'Languages' fields are correctly filled in the Multilingual XML file type settings. The 'Languages Root' should be the XPath to the parent element of the languages, and the 'Languages' field should contain the language codes of the languages you want to extract. 
 Step 3: Check if there are any issues with the XML file itself. Sometimes, issues with the file structure or encoding can cause problems with the extraction of terms. 
 Step 4: Try to update your Trados Studio to the latest version. Sometimes, issues can be resolved with the latest updates and patches. 
 If you have followed all these steps and the issue still persists, it might be a more complex issue that needs further investigation.
