QA - issues with whitespace normalization
Issue #535
resolved
Hi,
The QA steps seem to have a whitespace normalization issue as it does not detect leading and trailing whitespaces, nor double-spaces when added to the config.
Here is an example:
The filter used to the files is the SDLXLIFF one. The issue has not been tested with any other filter.

Excellent, adding the
xml:space="preserve"to the file fixes the issue.Thanks for your confirmation about M30!

This may be a filter issue. SDL has a strange interpretation of XML whitespace, which it preserves by default. (Sometimes, it even specifies
xml:space="default"in XLIFF.) The Okapi XLIFF filter usually assumes thatxml:space="preserve"must be present in the XLIFF for whitespace to be meaningful.As an experiment, can you try editing your SDLXLIFF file and adding
xml:space="preserve"somewhere (on the<xliff>or<body>element, for example)? Then see if this makes a difference. If fixes it, there is a change in M30 which will make the SDLXLIFF filter assume this behavior by default.
