CDATA and HTML embedded content - need help with settings

Former Member
Former Member

Hello all,

I've been struggling with a settings file for an XML for the last 3 days.

I'm currently using Studio 2014 SP2 (I can also use Studio 2017 if that would be better, I'm just more familiar with 2014).

Windows 7 based PC.

The XML file has been created from FIRST_Spirit.

CDATA is NOT to be translated (it contains a string of alpha-numeric which should not be visible in the bilingual file).

There is HTML embedded content - currently, this is minimal, so I can live without these tags if necessary.

XML content:

 

I've got CMS_Values that should not be translated: "stImParams" - that part I can get to work right. But I cannot get the CDATA to NOT appear in the bilingual. I've used both settings types in Studio 2014.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Mindy

    Hi ,

    It would have been good to have a small text file to make sure of the advice, but can't you just make the content of the rootelement non-translatable? That seems to be the only element holding CDATA.

    I've been able to get the settings file to be correct. After I pseudo-translate, and save target as, I now have a completely different structure in the target XML:

    <PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">
    <PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE" />
    </PAGENODE>
    - <CMS_VALUE name="ptTitle">
    - <PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">
    <PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE">Déposer étrangères</PAGE>
    </PAGENODE>
    </CMS_VALUE>
    - <PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">
    <PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE" />
    </PAGENODE>
    - <CMS_VALUE name="ptMetaDescription">
    - <PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">
    <PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE">Données artificiel antioxygènes université</PAGE>

    What piece am I missing?
    Best, Mindy

    What exactly do you mean? That the attributes are in different order? If thsi is what you mean, than don't worry about it - the attributes order is irrelevant in XML. And there is NO WAY to control their order... because from the XML perspective it's irrelevant.

    Thanks for the reply Evzen, but now I have additional Page Node entries.

    For example: My source document shows

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

    <!DOCTYPE FIRSTspirit_XML_EXPORT SYSTEM "TranslationXml.dtd">

    <FIRSTspirit_XML_EXPORT sourceLanguage="EN" version="5.2.1403.76473"><![CDATA[

    Server: wcms.xxx.info:443

    Version: 5.2.1403.76473

    Project: xxx.us 2017 (ID:839292)

    Root: '01_corporate_home' (ID:987129)

    Revision: 133106 (Feb 26, 2018 4:49:01 PM)

    Exported: Feb 26, 2018 5:53:46 PM

    Configuration:

    Source language: English (EN)

    Only referenced pages: no

    Ignored template ids: [none]

    Ignored sitestore variables: [none]

    ]]>

    <PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">

    <PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE">

    <CMS_VALUE name="ptTitle">My Americas</CMS_VALUE>

    After the CDATA, I have one entry/row for PAGENODE, then one entry/row for PAGE revision, then to CMS_VALUE. I didn't even translate the file, I opened the bilingual and did Save Target as and I'm now with this (top part ok, but all text after CDATA is now full of additional tags):

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

    <!DOCTYPE FIRSTspirit_XML_EXPORT SYSTEM "TranslationXml.dtd">

    <FIRSTspirit_XML_EXPORT sourceLanguage="EN" version="5.2.1403.76473"><![CDATA[

    <PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">

    <PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE">

    </PAGE></PAGENODE>

    <CMS_VALUE name="ptTitle"><PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE"><PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE">My Americas</PAGE></PAGENODE></CMS_VALUE><PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE"><PAGE revision="126445" uid="01_corporate_home_1" uidType="PAGESTORE">

    </PAGE></PAGENODE><CMS_VALUE name="ptMetaDescription"><PAGENODE revision="98311" uid="01_corporate_home" uidType="PAGESTORE">

    There are now closing PAGENODE, PAGE tags, and my CMS_VALUE has now been populated with many of these PAGE/PAGENODE tags.

    Suggestions?

    Yes... please send us a test source file, your settings file, and your translated sdlxliff. You can send this to pfilkin@sdl.com
