Hello,
This never occured before. I suspect this has something to do with formatting I got from my client.
What shall I to not to get each segment split into several translation suggestions like this one. PIC 2 This text is impossible to work with.
Here is the full tag text PIC 1.
Please, help!
I have made a rule for xlf files to make TS read tags as "inline" but it wont help. I think I need a professional technical help from the support. Is it possible to make a case to get help?

Hi Paul If you scroll up the screen, so you will see it.
Hmnn... show me where I can see the XLIFF itself and not just screenshots of what it looks like in Trados Studio? If you want some help you need to make this easy!

Im sorry. I misunderstood. Do you mean this one?
ok - a pretty horrible use of XLIFF. I think the best way for you to handle this file given there seems to be no target elements populated is this.
First, open the source xlf files, copy all source to target and immediately save the target file. This will get you something like this:

Now create a custom XML filetype like the attached: emi.zip
That has two rules:
1. only extract the target translation
2. don't extract anything at all
That should get you this which should be easier to handle:

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, you need to translate the new xlf files you have that contain both source and target, not the original as that will get you this:

Thank you so far. Iwill try and come back later.
In case it's interesting... and because I come across these problems quite often... I also created some AI generated Python scripts to automate this so you don't need to open in Studio, copy source to target etc. The scripts will prepare the files for you:
