Hello group,

I have an XAML file that I would like to translate in Studio (2014 SP2 11.2.4435.12). I can also use 2017, but I need to download a CU and I haven't done that yet. I thought I could add .xaml to the extension for AnyXML file type and things would work. Well, they did, but I am missing many hard returns in the target file and now have to go back and add them manually into about 100 places into each file, and I have 27 languages. I didn't make any changes to the parser for AnyXML (they are still on the default settings).

Source file beginning:

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                    xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
                    xmlns:customTag="clr-namespace:Languages"
                    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
                    mc:Ignorable="customTag">

<hard return>

<hard return>

    <!-- Language cultures -->
 <system:String x:Key="Language_ar">Arabic</system:String>

___

More strings for translation follow the Arabic line.

My target file has this at the beginning:

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                    xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
                    xmlns:customTag="clr-namespace:Languages"
                    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
                    mc:Ignorable="customTag"><!-- Language cultures --><system:String x:Key="Language_ar">Arabština</system:String>

My hard returns have been removed. I can add them back by hand, but I'm wondering if there is an easy way I can set these up in Studio and retranslate them to save me some time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Mindy
