Key-based alignment of two XML files

[Manuel Souto Pico]

Dear all,

I have two XML files, source and target. The source XML file looks a bit like this:

<label key="585afd88cce860ed194a4eced247f124">
   <text>foo</text>
</label>
<label key="64b8a8ea560bc7e850a5db4918366c70">
   <text>bar</text>
</label>

The target file looks like this:

<label key="585afd88cce860ed194a4eced247f124">
   <text>FÜÜ</text>
</label>
<label key="64b8a8ea560bc7e850a5db4918366c70">
   <text>BÂR</text>
</label>

In other words, same keys, different text.

Here comes the question: Is it possible to align these two files in Okapi Rainbow based on the ID/keys?

In other words, the input would be those two XML files, and the output would be a TMX file that looks like this:

    <tu>
      <prop type="id">585afd88cce860ed194a4eced247f124</prop>
      <tuv lang="en">
        <seg>foo</seg>
      </tuv>
      <tuv lang="fr">
        <seg>FÜÜ</seg>
      </tuv>
    </tu>

    <tu>
      <prop type="id">64b8a8ea560bc7e850a5db4918366c70</prop>
      <tuv lang="en">
        <seg>bar</seg>
      </tuv>
      <tuv lang="fr">
        <seg>BÂR</seg>
      </tuv>
    </tu>

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Manuel

Have you tried the ID Aligner Step? In your filter you would need to have the filter config set the id to the key attribute.

Thanks, Jim.

I assume you mean this: https://okapiframework.org/wiki/index.php/Id-Based_Aligner_Step

that's correct. As long as the filter can populate the "resname" that step should align all the text units.
