Hi all,

We have been translating resx files with the XML 2 file type and for the most part it has worked well so far. Only the text from the <value> tags is extracted for translation.

However, the customer has introduced a <comment> tag to the files now and we would like to have this information visible in Trados for the translators.

  <data name="0" xml:space="preserve">

    <value>Standard</value>

                <comment>Testkommentar</comment>

  </data>

This is what I tested so far:

I added a new rule and now the comments are visible in the editor. I could manually filter for “comment” tags and lock the segments.

However, I would prefer to have the segments locked automatically. Would that be possible? I tried different settings, e.g. “Translation: No”, but apparently then the segments are not extracted at all.

Or is there another possibility to have the comments in Trados, e.g. as a Trados comment?

Trados version: 2019 SR2 15.2.8.3007

Thank you

Sara
