TYPO3 Core

Error still exists in 9.5.17 but seems to be caused by the already encoded value in the German language file.

locallang.xlf

<trans-unit id="displayResults" resname="displayResults">
  <source><![CDATA[Displaying results <strong>%1$s to %2$s</strong> out of <strong>%3$s</strong>]]></source>
</trans-unit>

de.locallang.xlf

<trans-unit id="displayResults" resname="displayResults" approved="yes">
  <source><![CDATA[Displaying results <strong>%1$s to %2$s</strong> out of <strong>%3$s</strong>]]></source>
  <target state="final"><![CDATA[Anzeige der Ergebnisse &lt;strong&gt;%1$s bis %2$s&lt;/strong&gt; von insgesamt &lt;strong&gt;%3$s&lt;/strong&gt;]]></target>
</trans-unit>

this is a problem during the crowdin migration. detailed report

Original file having cdata + tags
```<source><![CDATA[Displaying results <strong>%1$s to %2$s</strong> out of <strong>%3$s</strong>]]></source>```
the export I did from pootle had this
```<trans-unit id="displayResults" resname="displayResults" approved="yes">
                <source>Displaying results <strong>%1$s to %2$s</strong> out of <strong>%3$s</strong></source>
                <target state="translated">Anzeige der Ergebnisse <strong>%1$s bis %2$s</strong> von insgesamt <strong>%3$s</strong></target>
            </trans-unit>```
so no cdata for the source and no cdata on the target + using `<` instead of `<`.

I uploaded those files to crowdin and now there seems to be some magic happening.
I *guess* you match now the source of the file also to the real source language provided previously.
However, now the source contains cdata + proper tags which is fine *but* the translations now contain cdata as well but still the original translation which is now escaped and wrong

```<trans-unit id="displayResults" resname="displayResults" approved="yes">
<source><![CDATA[Displaying results <strong>%1$s to %2$s</strong> out of <strong>%3$s</strong>]]></source>
<target state="final"><![CDATA[Anzeige der Ergebnisse <strong>%1$s bis %2$s</strong> von insgesamt <strong>%3$s</strong>]]></target>
</trans-unit>```
From my side it is wrong to add cdata automatically to the target but leave the content as it is.

Is it correct that I need to fix that myself, also e.g. using the mass replace tool

The DE translation is working in TYPO3 10.4.20.
But the ES translation is still wrong:

<trans-unit id="displayResults" resname="displayResults" approved="yes">
  <source><![CDATA[Displaying results <strong>%1$s to %2$s</strong> out of <strong>%3$s</strong>]]></source>
  <target state="final"><![CDATA[Mostrando resultados &lt;strong&gt;%1$s a %2$s&lt;/strong&gt; de &lt;strong&gt;%3$s&lt;/strong&gt;]]></target>
</trans-unit>

I just fetched it from Crowdin. FR translation is working, too.

For now I "fixed" it this way for ES:

plugin.tx_indexedsearch._LOCAL_LANG.es.displayResults = Mostrando resultados <strong>%1$s a %2$s</strong> de <strong>%3$s</strong>

this has been IMO fixed on crowdin, therefore closing this issue. if still valid, please contact me on slack or open a new issue and reference this one
