Hello friends,
I do not yet have any code for the following. I first need advice on how to do this at all first.
Problem: I have an XML file, XLIFF to be precise.
<source> nodes contain text, <target /> nodes are empty.
These files need to be translated using a CAT (=translation) tool. Said CAT tool however needs the target nodes containing the source text beforehand.
How would I best do that? The depth of the tree hierarchy is unknown!
Here's a sample XLIFF:
The bold black parts are what I need: node "trans-unit", populate the target node with the entire contents of the source node.
Notice the red part: there may also exist "alt-trans" nodes - these are to be left as is.
Notice the purple bold part: the trans-unit nodes with the source/target nodes may also be buried under any amount of "group" nodes.
So I need a way to populate the relevant target nodes (without exactly knowing how deep they're buried) while leaving the entire rest of the file as is.
Question: is such a thing possible using XSL(T)? If so: can you give me any pointers/directions as to how the transformation must look like?
Or would this be rather a job for some Script using recursion?

Thanks!
