Hi Sorin,

I think if you add the target element into the file then you'll find the file is correct.  I did this and it looks like this:

I tested this in other tools and Studio was the only one at least able to open the file... although it's then misleading since it's incorrect unless you have the target in there too.  Here's my file if you wondered what I did:

Hi Sorin,

No quick fix, or solution for all future XLFs. The XLIFF file needs to have the target element in there for Studio to accept it correctly. What other tools did you use? I'm curious to look at that.

Manually with a search and replace in a text editor, so whole file in one go at least.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Sorin,

That's interesting.  Based on your example I created the file and tested:

Failed in memoQ:

It does work in DVX which is cool and perhaps you should prepare your files in there if you have it, would be faster than a search & replace with an editor if you have lots of them since you could do them all in one go.  Once I ran it through DVX and copied source to target then the translated file export opened fine in Studio.

However,  if you want to use regex you could do something like this for example (back up your original files before you do this. I don't have your exact files!):

Search for:

<source(.*?)>(.*?)</source>

Replace with:

<source$1>$2</source><target$1>$2</target>

I have also sent this over to development for their comment as I've been wrong before.

Hi Sorin,

ok - development have confirmed that this is actually something that has been resolved in the upcoming cumulative update CU6.  Not sure of timescales exactly but its not far off.  With that fix you get this:

Hi Paul,

Good to know that it will be fixed in the next update.

And yes, in the meantime I also think the easiest solution would be to prep those files in another tool to get the source copied in the target, etc.

Many thanks for the regex, that's exactly what I was looking for but I wasn't sure how to accomplish that.
Thanks a lot for your help on this, much appreciated!

Regarding memoQ and the rest - it does work fine with the actual source file, that's probably because you're just trying with the bits I pasted in my initial post.
