Hi there!
I am trying to write CDATA for XLIFF 2.0 using okapi-lib-xliff2:1.44.0, but it ends up being escaped in output .xlf. I need it specifically for note and meta elements, but it does nto work for source and target as well. This makes me wonder if there is anything I am missing to configure the writer or pass any parameter. This is my code snippet:
<code>
try (XLIFFWriter writer = new XLIFFWriter()) {
writer.setUseIndentation(true);
writer.create(
new File("cdata.xlf"),
Locale.US.toString(),
Locale.FRANCE.toString());
StartFileData fileElementAttribute = new StartFileData(null);
String originalFile = "with_cdata.xlf";
fileElementAttribute.setId("1");
fileElementAttribute.setOriginal(originalFile);
writer.writeStartFile(fileElementAttribute);
Unit unit = new Unit("1");
ExtAttributes additionalAttributes = new ExtAttributes();
additionalAttributes.setAttribute(new ExtAttribute(QName.valueOf("xml:space"), "preserve"));
unit.setExtAttributes(additionalAttributes);
String segmentId = "test-key-1";
unit.setName(segmentId);
unit.setCanResegment(false);
Segment segment = unit.appendSegment();
segment.setCanResegment(false);
segment.setSource(new CDATAEncoder("UTF-8", "\\n").encode("<b>Hello<\\b>", EncoderContext.TEXT));
segment.setTarget(new CDATAEncoder("UTF-8", "\\n").encode("<b>Bonjour<\\b>", EncoderContext.TEXT));
Note originalComment = new Note();
originalComment.setCategory("engineer-comment");
originalComment.setText(new CDATAEncoder("UTF-8", "\\n").encode("This is translation for <b>Hello<\\b>", EncoderContext.TEXT));
unit.addNote(originalComment);
Metadata unitMetadata = new Metadata();
MetaGroup metaGroup = new MetaGroup();
metaGroup.setCategory("unitMetadata");
Meta meta = new Meta("key-1");
meta.setData(new CDATAEncoder("UTF-8", "\\n").encode("This is translation for <b>Hello<\\b>", EncoderContext.TEXT));
metaGroup.add(meta);
unitMetadata.addGroup(metaGroup);
unit.setMetadata(unitMetadata);
writer.writeUnit(unit);
}
</code>
Output is as follows:
<code>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0" version="2.0" srcLang="en_US" trgLang="fr_FR">
<file id="1" original="with_cdata.xlf">
<unit id="1" canResegment="no" name="test-key-1" xml:space="preserve">
<mda:metadata xmlns:mda="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:metadata:2.0">
<mda:metaGroup category="unitMetadata">
<mda:meta type="key-1"><![CDATA[This is translation for <b>Hello<\b>]]></mda:meta>
</mda:metaGroup>
</mda:metadata>
<notes>
<note category="engineer-comment"><![CDATA[This is translation for <b>Hello<\b>]]></note>
</notes>
<segment>
<source><![CDATA[<b>Hello<\b>]]></source>
<target><![CDATA[<b>Bonjour<\b>]]></target>
</segment>
</unit>
</file>
</xliff></code>
Expected output:
<code>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0" version="2.0" srcLang="en_US" trgLang="fr_FR">
<file id="1" original="with_cdata.xlf">
<unit id="1" canResegment="no" name="test-key-1" xml:space="preserve">
<mda:metadata xmlns:mda="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:metadata:2.0">
<mda:metaGroup category="unitMetadata">
<mda:meta type="key-1"><![CDATA[This is translation for <b>Hello<\b>]]></mda:meta>
</mda:metaGroup>
</mda:metadata>
<notes>
<note category="engineer-comment"><![CDATA[This is translation for <b>Hello<\b>]]></note>
</notes>
<segment>
<source><![CDATA[<b>Hello<\b>]]></source>
<target><![CDATA[<b>Bonjour<\b>]]></target>
</segment>
</unit>
</file>
</xliff></code>
Thanks a lot for the help!
