Hi,
We've received an XML file from our client, and when adding it to Studio, then the segmentation is not correct.
It is important to mention, that each XML row ends with <CR><LF>
XML file in Notepad++
In the Studio Editor
How to fix that in order to each string (between the <string> tags) will appear in a separate segment?
Thanks
Fouad

Hi Paul,
Attached is a sample file for you check.
Much appreciated in advance.

Is this really the complete file?!
If yes, then I was right - it's not a valid XML... and Studio is probably treating it as plain text file, or something.
Hello,
I think it is necessary to have at least a very basic understanding of XML in order to use an XML file as translation source. Indeed, what you show us does not like an XML file unless there is some kind of root element ("note" in the example below). And the odd thing that there is text outside an element, which does not wokr at all with XML ("billing_transaction..."). Since you are using Notepad++, get the "XML Tools" plugin and "Check XML syntax".
A most basic XML file looks like this (copied form w3schools, see link below):
Translate
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
This is a good starting point for getting a first idea of what XML is: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
Assuming that you want to get going with your translation job before you start educating yourself on this, and assuming the snippet you showed us is really how this file is structured, I'd treat it as a text file and in Project Settings->File type->Text->Document structure enter as opening pattern:^<string.*?> and as closing pattern:<\/string>$
