"Question improvement suggestion": Please provide more information about the exact version of Trados Studio you are using and the operating system. Also, it would be helpful if you could share any error messages you might be encountering, and any recent changes you made to the system or software.

In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

Hello Attila,

Based on your description, it seems like you're having trouble getting certain parts of your XML file to be recognized for translation in Trados Studio. Here are some steps you can try:

Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio.

Step 2: Go to 'Project Settings' and select 'File Types'.

Step 3: Find and select 'XML' from the list.

Step 4: In the 'Parser Rules' section, ensure that the 'a' tag is set to 'Always translatable'.

Step 5: In the 'Attributes' section, ensure that 'href' is set to 'True'.

Step 6: In the 'Embedded Content Processing' section, ensure that 'Process embedded content' is selected and that 'Inside CDATA element' with 'HTML embedded content 5 2.0.0.0' is specified.

Step 7: Save your changes and try to process the XML file again.

If these settings are already in place and you're still having trouble, it might be an issue with the specific XML file you're working with. You might need to manually adjust the XML file to ensure that the 'a' tags and 'href' attributes are properly formatted for translation.

I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

I rejected the AI answer because it's half right and half wrong ;-)

Presumably you have created a custom filetype for this, and enabled the embedded content processioning to use the HTML processor?  That should get you this:

For a dummy file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  <title>The Forgotten Links</title>
  <author>ChatGPT</author>
  <content>
    <![CDATA[
    <p>Late one evening, as the digital winds howled through the archives of the ancient content management system, two forgotten links stirred from their slumber.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="t3://page?uid=5758">Thread</a></li>
      <li><a href="t3://page?uid=1364">Riveting</a></li>
    </ul>
    <p>Thread, a link once woven into countless forum posts, yearned to reconnect conversations long severed. Riveting, a gateway to stories that once held readers in thrall, glowed faintly with the promise of rediscovery.</p>
    <p>Together, they embarked on a journey through deprecated plugins, malformed tags, and layers of nested divs, hoping to find the legendary page that bound all fragments of the old web together.</p>

Hi Paul, thank you for the answer. I have made the settings you detailed here but unfortunately I have not experienced the results you have. So I do not see the blue underlined expressions. Can a reason for this be that there is no rule defined in the File type / Parser rules for "t3://page..."?

Moreover I have made the following settings for the tag <a> in the Embedded processors / HTML 5 configuration / Parser rules:

Attributes: href=true

Properties: Translate: Always translatable

Tag type: Inline

Segmentation hint: Include with text (it does not work with Exclude either)

The t3 texts are shown among the segments like "t3://page?uid=1364" but not the texts after that.

I doubt you have done what I showed you.  You do not need parser rules for the html at all.  Please show us what your filetype settings look like, parser rules, embedded content rules... and maybe if you can just extract a complete XML sample that contains one or two examples of what these parts look like in your actually file?  We don't need the full file.

Hi Paul,

Here I am showing my project settings: the HTML 5 embedded content processor settings and the specific XML file settings.

My other embedded content processing settings are standard. When I switch to Embedded content plain text processing Inside CDATA elements then it includes all parts of XML file but with HTML codes as text and not tags -. what I do not need of course.

And here I am showing parts of my XML file: the beginning if the file and the problematic parts, with customer specific texts overwritten.

It is interesting that all other parts of this XML file are processed well by Trados Studio, only theses parts with <a tags and href attributes are missing.

It is interesting that all other parts of this XML file are processed well by Trados Studio, only theses parts with <a tags and href attributes are missing.

UPDATE: in the meantime I have reset all my file type settings, created a new custom XML file based on XML 2 type, enabled the CDATA processing and now also the missing CDATA a href parts are processed well in Studio.

Now another problem appeared: the accented characters in the CDATA parts of the generated target translation files remained HTML codes. I tried to configure the processing of entities in the custom XML file type settings and in the Embedded content processing / HTML 5 settings but this solutions have not worked so far.

Here are my settings:

FINAL SOLUTION FOUND!

Problem: accented characters in the CDATA parts of the generated target translation files remained HTML codes.

I have disabled entity processing both in the XML file type settings and in the Embedded content processing / HTML 5 settings and now all accented characters appear in the target files correctly.

Only a minor issue remained: the & symbol was converted into &amp tag but I replaced it with the corresponding translation of "and" in the target text, and as Studio does not prevent generating the target file without this tag, the project can be closed successfully.

Glad you figured it out.
