Xlf target files contain unnecessary code

Question

Hi all, I have translated some xlf files (originating from xml or html) and when I save the target I get some unnecessary strings which make the file useless for the client.

Source: <source>login.identity</source>

Target: <source>login.identity_small</source><seg-source><mrk mtype="seg" mid="6">login.identity_small</mrk></seg-source>

Is there a way to save the target files without these additions?

Thanks a lot,
Sandra

Hi Sandra, 
 Yes, just make sure this option to store segmentation information in the translated file is not checked in the filetype options. You need to do this before you prepare the file in your project:

Thanks Paul, actually I managed to save the files by checking that box (you wrote "is not checked"). When I created the project I wasn't aware of this option so it was already checked by default. To save the target files I used "generate target translations" and in the wizard I changed the setting and voilà... it worked!
