Does anyone know of an independent XML expert who could evaluate an XML English source file used for translations. The translations that come back from our vendor lose formatting, drop characters, and insert others. The translator claims the problem is with the XML being produced by our application. Our application provider claims it is the translator's error.
As long as you XML document parses correctly with an XML 1.0 compliant parser such as Apache Xerces, then there is nothing wrong with your data. Unless your translation supplier is conversant with XML and checks that the document structure and encoding are not being changed by parsing the document before returning it to you, then there is every opportunity of corruption of the document arising.
