Use at your own risk and always make a backup of the SDLXLIFF file.
Delete all tracked deletions in one run (if you dare):
Since colour marking of non-translatables only works in the Source Segment Editor, it's not possible to colour the {add} and {del} markups like this:
Or with Unicode brackets, e.g.:
⦊het⦉⁅de⁆
alwayslockyourbike
Here's a workaround to process Tracked Changes in SDLXLIFF files.
As a Mac user, you can use the attached text factory for BBEdit. Place it in the appropriate folder:
and call it via this command:
Users of other operating system can use any editor that supports regular expressions.
The relevant replacement strings are:
(case-sensitive, greb/regex selected)
Run these replacements on the SDLXLIFF file that contains tracked changes.
Open the file in CafeTran Espresso.
Filter on:
with the Regex checkbox ticked.
Make the appropriate modifications.
Remove all added markup, e.g. by replacing the regular expression above with nothing.
BTW: You can also use a regular expression to delete all text between the del and /del markup.
