Problem

I have the following string: 

  <file original="Localizable.strings" source-language="en" datatype="plaintext">

<body>

<trans-unit id="Login button">

        <source>Login</source>

        <note>Appears on the login page</note>

      </trans-unit>

</body>

</file>

When I upload this string onto the platform, it is duplicated. What happened?

Answer

XLIFF strings have a different identification logic on the platform. The string key is actually detected by their string CONTEXT as well, which is generated from the file's original attribute (e.g. "Localizable.strings") + id attribute ("Login button").

Check to see if the phrases have different contexts. If their context is the same, please contact support.

    On the platform, XLIFF strings are identified differently. A file's original attribute (e.g. "official website. strings") + id attribute generates the string CONTEXT, which detects the string key ("Login button"). Please get in touch with customer service if the situation is the same.

    Thanks for sharing this. It's easy to get confused when it comes to XLIFF strings.
