XML tags
Hi,
I am experiencing difficulties to decide whether to translate
translatable attributes (descriptions, titles etc) within "<" and ">".
(in help files)
I am working with 4 alternative language (including english and
german) to compare the source and there are portion of strings (more
than 100) where all 4 alternatives are translated into native
languages. However when i submit the translated version to my work, i
receive an "Critical errors: XML tags ".
How exactly should i proceed?
Regards,
Taavi

Hi, unfortunately I do not understand your answer at all. I use Google
Translate. Try to use it too.
In essence, I have only one question as to whether a cheaper alternative to
transport would be possible.

Hi,
Not saying it's the correct way, but I translate only the sections after name,
e.g.:
<link href="text/scalc/main0107.xhp" name="Janela">Janela</link>

Pedro

Hello
I gues that the links etc doesn't work after building. Many of them are
name anchor for links. Or that are name of variables.
So you can test it in your translated version.
Kind regards

Taavi,
no problem to discuss it openly, but I thought the mail was sent to me
personally, so I left out the mailinglist.
So back to the list
Tried your solution for the warnings.
On an existing translated string it throws me an error NOT FOUND if I
click the icon and won't turn grey.
That's why I first have to edit the string.
Then it works for me.
"Do you confirm or override?" - I don't get such an option
Greetings

OK, thanks it should be OK for Dutch then.
Had a quick look at the Critical XML-tags for German.
Found that about 1500 tags seem to have somehow had the excessive string
"visibility="visible"" added in links in the translated German string,
whilst it is not (or no longer) in the original string in EN.
I think it should be removed from the German string to make the Critical
error go away.
If you would I could help you out there. I do have some spare time.

Hello Dick,
if you double check it, then it is ok to disable the warning and hope
that it also works in the conversion.
And hope the translation works in the build.
I know there isn't an easy solution I'm now working on the "critical
errors" for German.
Kind regards

OK, I'm lost now.
Are we talking about the XML-tags Critical errors in Pootle ?
I know I fixed number of them and most were false positives.
I checked the string several times and there was nothing wrong with the
string, but the Critical error remained.
After I doublechecked the string I disabled the warning.
Can you point out where I'm going the wrong way ??

This is confusing.

It doesnt say there cannot be less spaces or that the letters cannot
be changed between the symbols.
Also, the words i spoke about ARE WIDELY TRANSLATED all over the languages.
Take a look at the (random) screenshot for example:
https://pasteboard.co/IRN13yi.png
So the work should be reversed in all languages?
Looking for your reply,
Taavi
