Can I preserve the appearance of the input XML with Transolution?

I'm just opening a source.xlf, setting a couple of strings to translated, and saving it as dest.xlf, and it happens that the XMLs have lots of modifications:

  • Tag attributes are written out a in different order, actually alphabetically.
  • Tags such as <note></note> are written out as <note/>
  • <xliff version="1.2"> is written out in a new line.

Is there a way of telling Transolution not to do these modifications? Maybe using a schema?

Solution

  • Seems like a dead project to me. http://sourceforge.net/projects/eviltrans/files/

    Get a professional tool like Trados. They have a cheap $90 version for freelancers. Or some online solution like http://www.translate5.net/

    <note></note> written as <note/> is correct.
    <xliff version="1.2"> written on a new line is fine too.

    The sequence should stay the same.
