How to change XLIFF file type so it doesn't show CDATA tags in Editor

Dear Community,

In our company, we recently introduced WPML for website translation management. Unfortunately, we now have problems with the XLIFF file that we get for translation, specifically the CDATA tags that we see in the Editor:

Screenshot of Trados Studio Editor showing multiple CDATA tags within the XLIFF file content, highlighting the issue described by the user.

For reasons that would take too long to explain here, we cannot use the XML file type or the Multilingual XML file type in Studio, it has to be the XLIFF file type. Is there any way to configure this file type so it doesn't show the CDATA tags in the Editor?

This is an example of a trans-unit element in the XLIFF file:

<trans-unit extradata="Titel" resname="title" restype="string" datatype="html" id="title"><source><![CDATA[Werkstattbedarf]]></source><target><![CDATA[Workshop equipment]]></target></trans-unit>

Attached, you'll find the same XLIFF file (I had to change the file ending from .xliff to .xml to be able to upload it here, but the file is the same).

And this is our Studio version: Trados Studio 2021 SR2 - 16.2.9.9198

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
