Improvements in handling embedded content in Trados Studio 2021?

Is there any improvement in Studio 2021 regarding processing of embedded elements (html and text)? The way we select both embedded html and text when prepping xmls in the new version of Studio?

  • An excellent question, and one would be most suited to answer.  But I'll have a go and he can add anything I may have missed.

    First of all perhaps review this article that covers where the handling of embedded content is possible:

    https://multifarious.filkin.com/2020/09/20/psst-wanna-know-a-few-more-things-about-file-types/

    Then, let's look at the XML2 filetype in Trads Studio 2021.  Embedded Content settings are on this page:

    Trados Studio 2021 options window showing Embedded Content settings with options for CDATA sections, parser rules, and document structure information.

    With this there are three ways to define where embedded content comes from and two ways to handle it.  

    Ways to define it:

    1. based on content that is within CDATA sections
    2. based on selection of the parser rules themselves
    3. based on the document structure information

    1. and 3. have been possible for some time.  2. is new and this is an excellent enhancement.  You can now define different rules for each parser rule:

    Embedded Content Processor selection window in Trados Studio with a list of parser rules and associated file types for processing embedded content.

    Ways to handle it:

    You either choose to process the embedded content using another filetype from the Embedded Content Processor list... the defaults:

    List of default Embedded Content Processors in Trados Studio including Plain Text, SpreadsheetML, and HTML versions.

    Or what you see in here:

    Trados Studio options window displaying a list of file types including Embedded Content Plain Text and SpreadsheetML.

    You can customise these and have as many versions as you like.

    OR... you can use regular expression rules as you used to be able to do with the old legacy XML filetype:

    Define Document Structure Information window in Trados Studio with options to use standard or custom structure information for embedded content.

    These are getting close to covering any scenario you might have these days.
