How to keep hexadecimal entities in trados studio? (Mainly and  )

KL Argentina

Hi Team,

I'm wondering if is there a chance to keep the hexadecimal entities in Trados Studio? 

We created a new project using a XML file as source, I'm sharing with you the screenshot which show you how the source files looks like:

You will see there are some hexadecimal entities present there (&#032). We know they represent the space character.

In the trados studio projects they seems to be hidden or missing, since if you activate the "Show Whitespace characters" option they aren't visible like spaces.:

We need to see them present in the trados studio project for translator's reference.

Anyway the main problem is when we export the target file, they are missing. I'm sharing a screenshot of a comparision between source and target:

The same happens for the non-breaking hexadecimal entities, I mean  

The soruce files contains a lot of these entities and we really need to protect and keep them. I've done a lot of tries modifying the XML filter but I couldn't be able to find out how to do it.

 

Could you please help us with this?

Thanks in advance!

    They were probably taken outside of the segment as they are not really significant. (Well, there may be a dozen of other reasons why they are not there, as there was a number of space normalization related changes recently in Studio... not all of them being actually good ones, according to may experience....)

    You may need to set the Convert numeric entities to inline placeholder tags check box in Advanced XML Entity Settings.

    They are not missing, the spaces are there. From XML perspective there is no difference between the entity representation and the actual character, so the target files are perfectly okay like that.

    EDIT: However, you should be able to achieve NOT converting certain characters if you ENABLE entity conversion and add the particular entity to the Entity mappings part and UNcheck the associated check box. (You may need to experiemtn a bit here as this is not very well documented, so it's kind of a trial and error...
