Hello,
I have some files for which I need to generate strings without a fallback language. For untranslated strings, the "target" elements are expected to be empty and not contain any replacement text.
I cannot find a way to do this in Passolo, except manually removing the text from the right cells directly in the string lists, one by one...
Is it possible to set this up?
Thank you
In general Passolo always writes all entries to the target file and an empty string is usually a more critical problem than an untranslated string entry. Please note that there is a technical difference between empty and nonexistent string entries. For some file formats like RESX, PROPERTIES, and JSON you can set up that not translated string entries will not be written to the translated target file.
Yes I know for the RESX and JSON formats. The files I am working with are bilingual XLIFF. When I receive them, the "new" or "untranslated" strings are set like this:
<target xml:lang="en-US" state="new"/>
I would like Passolo not to change the target tag when the string remains untranslated. Otherwise, the system in which I re-import the file will detect a change and set the strings as "translated" even if the text is similar to the source element. And unfortunately, this is not something I can change in the import settings.

This won't work with XLIFF. I think that I already explained the reason in a previous post: XLIFF: problem with attribute only existing in target element. The possible solution approach will be the same as described in my previous answer.
