Studio generates incomplete idml file

Antonie Pluk

We have an IDML file for which the extraction worked fine (all the text from the source file was extracted into the sdlxliff format). When we generated the target translation for this file, the generated file did not include all the translated text from the sdlxliff.

The sdlxliff did not contain any errors, the file generation process did not show any error message.

Why wouldn't Studio generate all the text if it was able to extract it all? Is this a known problem?

Has anyone been able to work their way around such an issue?

Thanks for your help!

    Hi  

    We work with IDML files in Studio frequently and haven't run into problems with any parts of the target file being left with source text. Normally the bigger worry is not having the content included in sdlxliff initially because of how the INDD is set up. If it made it into the XLIFF it's weird it didn't make it back out.

    Is it significant chunks of text? Is there any pattern of behavior (i.e; the missing parts are always on master page content/pasteboard/tables etc.) that might provide some clues.

    If it's only small parts, then in terms of speed, it may be quicker just to simply paste the target out of Studio manually into the correct place in InDesign. However, I appreciate that this may not be practical if lots of text is wrong or if the formatting is particularly fiddly, and doesn't explain the problem.

    I don't suppose you'd be willing to provide your xliff file?

    Thanks
