TYPO3 Core

Line breaks are not properly handled in XLIFF.

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms256097(v=vs.110).aspx for background.

Problem¶

Having a XLIFF like that:

<trans-unit id="settings.tika_jar_path">
    <source>Tika Application Path: Path to your Apache Tika application jar file (tika-app-x.x.jar). This
        path may be relative to the root of your website or absolute. Download the jar from:
        https://tika.apache.org/download.html
    </source>
</trans-unit>

A call to \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\LocalizationUtility::translate does not return the expected string.

Expected string¶

Tika Application Path: Path to your Apache Tika application jar file (tika-app-x.x.jar). This path may be relative to the root of your website or absolute. Download the jar from: http://tika.apache.org/download.html

Actual string¶

Tika Application Path: Path to your Apache Tika application jar file (tika-app-x.x.jar). This
        path may be relative to the root of your website or absolute. Download the jar from:
        https://tika.apache.org/download.html

Additional information¶

Line breaks and blank spaces in XML should only be respected if the XLIFF is written as:

<trans-unit id="settings.tika_jar_path" xml:space="preserve">
    <source>Tika Application Path: Path to your Apache Tika application jar file (tika-app-x.x.jar). This
        path may be relative to the root of your website or absolute. Download the jar from:
        https://tika.apache.org/download.html
    </source>
</trans-unit>

Mind the xml:space="preserve" in trans-unit tag.
