Trados Studio 2024: All XML source and target text displayed in bold in Editor

Marta Guerrero

Hi everyone,

I see all text in the Trados Studio 2024 Editor displayed in bold. All source and target text appears in bold, except for the protocol title.

For context:

  1. The project was created from an XML file exported from Storyblok. I can't modify or clean up the XML before exporting it.
  2. The XML itself does not contain any <b>, <strong>, or other bold formatting tags.
  3. The issue affects all segments except the title. I also notice that the segments are classified as CDA/CDATA Section, which might be related?
  4. Some formatting options in the Editor are greyed out, while others do not seem to have any effect.
  5. In Options > Editor > Font Adaptation, both English and Spanish are set to (default).
  6. Disabling Adapt font sizes makes the text smaller, but it still appears bold.
  7. Previous projects did not have this issue, although this has been happening for some time now.

If anyone has encountered this issue or knows how to resolve it, I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Marta

PS- Trados Studio 2024 SR1 - 18.1.4.6694

    Hello Marta,

    Thank you for providing such detailed context about your issue in Trados Studio 2024. Based on your description and the context provided, it seems the bold text display in the Editor might be related to how the XML file is being processed, particularly with the embedded content processor and the way CDATA sections are handled. Let me guide you through some steps to address this:

    ### Step 1: Check the File Type Configuration

    1. Go to **File > Options > File Types** in Trados Studio.

    2. Locate the file type associated with your XML file (e.g., XML 2.0 or a custom XML file type).

    3. Select the file type and click **Embedded Content**.

    4. Review the settings for the embedded content processor. If the **HTML Embedded Content** processor is enabled, it might be interpreting certain elements in your XML as styled content, even if no `<b>` or `<strong>` tags are present.

    ### Step 2: Disable the Embedded Content Processor (if applicable)

    1. If you suspect the embedded content processor is causing the issue, you can disable it:

      - In the **Embedded Content** settings, uncheck the option to process embedded content.
