XML tags with attributes change the order of the translation when tagHandling is XML but are OK when tagHandling is off

I think the problem with this XML example is that you are using a tag (fontcolor) as an attribute, which is not allowed. The following is an invalid XML document (you can check with various online validators/the XML standard)

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<note>
That’s the <fontcolor="#007af2">timer</fontcolor>!
</note>

This is a valid XML document (I added an attribute col with your color):

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<note>
That’s the <fontcolor col="#007af2">timer</fontcolor>!
</note>

You're right, in this case it will resolve the problem, I suspect that there will be other examples having the same issue, I'll make sure to add them here if I find them to help the team resolve the issue.

Seems like a standard XML must have a space between name and attribute, so I guess the source could be the problem.

@JanEbbing That is correct, however there is an issue when there is an ignoreTag inside another XML tag (which from the XML standard point of view, should be valid).

This example could demonstrate the problem :

Welcome back to the <gs><ignore>[SCHOOL_NAME]</ignore>!</gs> We missed you! Are you ready for this path?

where ignore is added to the ignoreTags list. In this case the result in Slovenian is :

Dobrodošli nazaj na <gs><ignore>[SCHOOL_NAME]</ignore>! Pogrešali smo vas! Ste pripravljeni na to pot?</gs>

Whereas it should be:

Dobrodošli nazaj na <gs><ignore>[SCHOOL_NAME]</ignore>!</gs> Pogrešali smo vas! Ste pripravljeni na to pot?

Meaning that the <gs> tag is not well-placed. Again, if we set tagHandling to off, the <gs> tag will be in its place but the [SCHOOL_NAME] is translated because the tagHandling would not work anymore.

Any ideas for this problem?

[JanEbbing]

Putting the exclamation mark outside the gs tag fixes this for me (I assume this is because we do sentence splitting, and the exclamation mark that ends this sentence is inside the XML tag), maybe that helps?

Welcome back to the <gs><ignore>[SCHOOL_NAME]</ignore></gs>! We missed you! Are you ready for this path?
=>
Dobrodošli nazaj v <gs><ignore>[SCHOOL_NAME]</ignore></gs>! Pogrešali smo te! Ste pripravljeni na to pot?
But I agree this is not a good response from our API, I will check internally with another team.
