Passolo XML Parser destroys target file due to coding!?

Hi everybody, 

I have a Passolo project with one XML file with structure

<Translation UId="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" Id="ID_ABOUT_PROGRAMVERSION">
<target lng="en">Program version:</target>
<target lng="de">Programmversion:</target>
<target lng="it">Versione programma:</target>
<target lng="es">Versión del programa:</target>
<target lng="fr">Version du programme:</target>
<target lng="zh">程序版本:</target>
<target lng="ja">プログラムバージョン:</target>
<target lng="ko">프로그램 버전:</target>
</Translation>

Parsing rule: 

Trados Studio interface showing a Passolo project with an XML file structure for multiple language translations.

Target rule: Source file

When generating the target language, some characters in Japanese and Chinese are converted to unicode(?) and the XML structure is broken:

Close-up of XML code with translation tags for different languages, highlighting errors in Japanese and Chinese character encoding.

This is new. I am using this project quite some time. I am using Passolo 18.0.152.0.

When generating the target files to the source file. Which codpage and/or encoding for target do I have so specify?

Any hints welcome. Thanks, Markus

  • Thanks for your respond, Achim.

    Structure is as follows. So no proper XML header with encoding. Will try that. Thanks.
