.Xlf from Typo3 contains html codes

Question

We received .xlf files from Typo3 that contain a lot of html codes. Is there any chance to handle that in Studio?

Here is an example:

0px 0px 15px; padding:
0px; border:
0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: inherit; font-size:
12.012px; line-height:
15.6156px; font-family:
Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent:
0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows:
1; word-spacing:
0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width:
0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">M lieferte als Ersatz einen Kaltwassersatz mit einer Leistung von 290 kW sowie sämtliche Schläuche und Elektrokabel.</p>

Hi Daniela, 
 
Not at all... it just meant you might need to change the odd thing in these expressions to make them work with .NET. Just a different flavour of regex, albeit useful to see what might be required if you have to use regex. 
 
I think it's very hard to know what you have to do based on the detail you posted. A lot depends on what the overall XLF file looks like. So is the source equal to the target, empty target, or is it already partially translated? If you can handle this as a custom XML file it's going to easier, but as Michael has mentioned already this is a pretty messy file. 
 
Can you share a sample file? email it to me or post it into the forum... pfilkin@sdl.com 
 
Regards

Hi Just wanted to share the solution we looked at for this particular problem. First of all, the xlf file provided had no target elements at all in it. We needed a target in there so we could create an xml filetype handling embedded content and just translate the target. So, we did this with a decent text editor that supports Regex. Search for this: ()(.*?)()() And replace with this: $1$2$3$2$4 This gave us an xlf file that now contains target elements and they all contain a copy of the source We could then create a new xml filetype that extracted text from the target element, and we added an embedded content filter using the html filetype Now the file could be opened and all the tagged text was protected.
