How are text nodes and element attributes handled when translating XML files?
“XML files contain a mix of configuration items, attribute values, and displayable text—indiscriminate translation may break the file schema.”
Root Cause Analysis
Processing XML text nodes
The current process traverses the XML structure and extracts non-empty text nodes and translatable content in CDATA. Text does not have to be inside leaf elements. Before use, check tags, attributes, placeholders and configuration meaning.
Checking XML attribute values
The current backend does not extract XML element attribute values for translation by default, and attributes such as `label` and `id` are preserved. Confirm whether attribute values need manual localization, and check program references and configuration meaning before use.
Checking CDATA content and boundaries
The current process extracts translatable content in `<![CDATA[ ... ]]>` and serializes content recognized as HTML again. Entity representation and original formatting may change. Before use, check CDATA boundaries, HTML tags, attributes and the translation.
Final Solution Summary
Ensure that XML data remains compliant with XSD validation standards after multilingual conversion, thereby safeguarding system compatibility.
