Mark some CDATA content as untranslatable

Kim van Melzen

Dear team,

We have some XML files that were prepared before they were sent to us. The CDATA should be translated for the most part, but also contain an additional attribute "donottranslate" in some places. The contents of this tag should not be translated. 

How do I configure the settings file so that this sole attribute is marked for no translation?

Kind regards,
Kim

  Hello,

  I suppose the content in the CDATA is HTML? And the attribute is an HTML attribute?

  Please paste a brief extract of the XML/HTML here.

  Thank you

  Hi,

  Thank you for getting in touch with us.

  Unfortunately we currently have no solution for this as it is not possible to exclude HTML content by tag name. However, we will move towards advanced configuration options.

  Shortly we will release new options for the XLIFF filter to exclude content based on the "id"and "rename" attributes of the <trans-unit> nodes. For example to only translate (or never translate) translation units that have a specific identifier format.

  In Kim's example above the CDATA content can be processed as HTML. This is what she did. What is now needed are the advanced options to exclude certain HTML tags from translation. 

  Right now, we do not have a solution but we are working on it step by step.

  Regards

  Stephan

  Hi Peter,

  I believe we have indeed implemented such a feature since this thread was started: The HTML filter supports excluding tags.

   

  The steps are:

  (1) Create an HTML configuration or clone the one you use. In this configuration type the names of the tags you do not want to translate in this box. You find in under the "HTML tags and attributes" tab.

  

  With the example above you would type "donottranslate"

  Save the configuration.

   

  (2) Go to your XML configuration and select your new HTML configuration:

  

   

  (3) Test

   

  I did not try this myself before I started writing this message but I am confident.

  Regards,

  Stephan

  Ok great Stephan. I might need to include the CDATA as comments or locked content as the text has some user instructions. I think I recall doing this in the past but can't find my notes. This is possible isn't it?
