Hi Jakub,

Most of those issues you got there can be solved by XML Tools (plug-in for Notepad++).

Hello Tomasz,

thank you for your answer.

I am sure the way you proposed will help me solve my problem, but honestly, I was hoping for a solution that wouldn't require me to use another software. Frankly, I don't want prepare every file before importing it or after exporting it from Trados...

However, in the meantime, I found the solution to both of my problems. The problem with symbols conversion is quite counter-intuitive. I had to go to Advance settings in the Entities menu and untick all the options, even though I had previously unticked the "Enable entities conversion" option.

The line breaking problem was solved by importing the file in its original format. It's not originally an html, but actually a variant of html, so in my first attempt, I saved it as html before importing it to Trados, which led to the issue with line breaking. But then I added this specific file format to the list of formats that should be treated as html by Trados and the issue with incorrect line breaking disappeared.

Again, thank you for your proposal, I really appreciate your help.

The linebreaks should NOT be a problem, if the file is processed as should be, i.e. as XML/HTML and not as plain text. For XML/HTML files, the linebreaks are unimportant and simply ignored when processing the file.

The entities conversion settings unintuitiveness has been there for years and I believe everybody got used to it ;-). I remember talking with Patrik a couple of years ago about it and told him that if SDL actually fixes the behavior one day, it will be rather a problem for current users ;-)
