When synchronizing the translation units, a translation is lost if it has at the beginning an interpolation

[olalinv]

I´ve got this translation unit in messages.xlf:

<trans-unit id="CreateModal.MessageOK" datatype="html">
  <source>Ticket <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{createResponseOK.code}}"/> created successfully</source>
</trans-unit>

And this is the tranlation in messages.eu-ES.xlf:

<trans-unit id="CreateModal.MessageOK" datatype="html">
  <source>Ticket <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{createResponseOK.code}}"/> created successfully</source>
  <target state="translated"><x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{createResponseOK.code}}"/> eskaera behar bezala sortu da</target>
</trans-unit>

By synchronizing the translation units again the translation becomes:

<trans-unit id="CreateModal.MessageOK" datatype="html">
  <source>Ticket <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{createResponseOK.code}}"/> created successfully</source>
  <target state="translated">Ticket </target>
</trans-unit>

If I put a space (or any word) just before the interpolation then this doesn't happen:
<target state="translated">&nbsp;<x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{createResponseOK.code}}"/> eskaera behar bezala sortu da</target>

Hi @olalinv,
Sorry for the late reply. I have looked into your issue, but I can't seem to reproduce it yet.
For me the translation does not disappear, however, what I do see is that the target node is being marked as a missing-translation. I can see why that happens and will look into fixing that.

However, that is not the bug you reported, so could you provide me with a sample project which reproduces this? (Maybe it is caused by specific settings.)

Back at it again. Found another example of reproducing this, which is when copyFromSource is used. The issue is that currently nodes nested in the target are not supported. I will look into this though.

Hi @ rvanbekkum,

This is my settings file:

{ "xliffSync.baseFile": "messages.xlf", "xliffSync.addNeedsWorkTranslationNote": false, "xliffSync.copyFromSourceForLanguages": [ "ca-ES", "de-DE", "en-US", "eu-ES", "es-ES", "fr-FR", "gl-ES", "it-IT", "pt-PT" ], "xliffSync.detectSourceTextChanges": false }

I will try to prepare a sample project as soon as i can for further testing, if you need help please let me know.

Thanks

A change for this will be shipped in the next release of the extension!

I've tried it and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot.
