Hmm strange. Only theory I have is that it doesn't work if one of the datatypes stores it's data in the xml format. Since this file is already xml it might conflict? Otherwise I don't know why it goes wrong...
Did you get any resolution to this? I'm seeing a possibly related problem - downloading individual xml task files seems OK, but the "download all translation tasks as xml" link just gives me an empty XML file;
No I didn't find a solution for this and I decided not to use the translate xml. If downloading them individual works you should just use that I think.
Unfortunately, it looks like downloading individual XML files isn't working for me either - I'm getting no-content versions like you did on all but one file - oddly, the one that corresponds to the root node...
According to the 4.7.1 source, this area of code was changed ages ago, around 4.5.1. There's obviously something specific to the content that's causing this to fail/succeed.. I'll open a Codeplex item, and keep digging...
Good idea to create a codeplex issue. So far the only thing I can think of is that it might go wrong if properties store data as xml (like DAMP does). Not sure about this. Didn't have more time to investigate. If you want to experiment more I think it's best to start with a clean website and test the xml of that. Than slowly add more content and more properties and maybe than you'll know at what point it might go wrong.
Had the same issue with 'Download all tasks as xml' but found the solution.
When you create the task you specify a translator for the task, login as that user and you'll be able to download all in one xml. Had to take a look in the source files and noiced that the function only creates a full xml of all tasks for the assigned translator.
Even we are facing with downloading all xml as Empty data. Can you please brief us how its solved.
One issue for us is when the translation task assigned to a translator, the translator seeing it under "Tasks Created by you" instead of "Tasks assigned to you". Even though admin created and assigned to translator.
Empty translate xml
Hello,
I'm using the translate section of Umbraco and I have a node which needs to be translated. Here is a screenshot:
As you can see there is content which needs to translated, but when I download the xml file I get this:
There is no content in the xml file. Isn't it supposed to have the content so it can be translated?
Jeroen
Hi Jeroen,
I just created a translate task (send to translation) and then logged in with a translator account and downloaded the xml , the xml looks fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<tasks>-<task TotalWords="197" NodeId="1053" Date="2011-11-15T15:45:43" Id="1">-<Comment>

CodePlex work item 30631 created
For the record, content nodes need to be saved (to create a valid preview) before sending to translation.
'Download all tasks as xml' still doesn't work, but I'm managing to handle individual files for now.

Appreciate your help.
