TIKAL merge with skeleton not working

[Wolfgang Staudacher]

I create my xlf and skl file with tikal.bat -x2 test.docx -sl EN -tl FR

works fine, translate a bit try to merge it again with tikal.bat -m2 test.docx.xlf -sl EN -tl FR -trace -od tst

does not work. I put the input file, skeleton, xliff and the output of tikal in here. I have no idea why it's failing.

Is this with the latest version (M32)?

[YvesS]

OK: I can reproduce this with the latest version.

Notes:

• No need to add translation to create the crash, merging the original XLIFF reproduce the issue.
• There is no error when using -x1/-m1 (default), so it seems to be related to the JSON skeleton.
• There is no error when using -x2\-m2 with an HTML file.

@tingley : It seems to be a issue with the JSON skeleton and the OpenXML filter: A null pointer in openxml.ElementSkipperFactory.createGeneralElementSkipper.

[Chase Tingley]

Thanks for the bug report, Wolfgang. The OpenXML filter uses entirely custom skeleton stuff, since it rewrites so much markup. So I suspect there are a few problems with the JSON skeleton support. I'll take a look when I have some time, hopefully it won't be too bad.

[Wolfgang Staudacher]

Is there someone working on it? Is there some progress on it? thx

[YvesS]

Is there a specific reason to use -x2/-m2? The -x/-m (default) seems to work OK: That may be an alternative meanwhile.

[Wolfgang Staudacher]

Yes, I want to use the skeleton and xliff file for translation without the original file.

[YvesS]

I'm closing this issue because the extraction using the JSON skeleton has been deprecated and is no longer available after M35.
