Exporting xlf file for translation - dummy text follows

Sep 02, 2020

Hi!

When I export a xlf file for translation from a course in Rise I get rows with dummy text in a number of rows. When I check the course there is nothing that I can delete to get rid of these extra rows with text. Example of dummy text:

"Complete the content above before moving on." // "When we show up to the present moment with all of our senses, ..."

It's confusing for our translators to handle these extra rows with text. Anyone who knows a solution to this, apart from editing the xlf file?

Hello, Henrik.

The filler text came from a block type that can be converted to other blocks. For example, if you add a Paragraph with Heading block, then change it to a Heading block, the paragraph text is preserved in the background in case you want to switch it back. 

However, if you've deleted the filler text and replaced it with your own custom text, then I wouldn't expect the filler text to appear in your XLIFF file. 

If you can share your XLIFF file with our team here, we'd be happy to take a closer look!
