CONTEXT: I have an .xml file with various fields, and in every field there's some text I need to translate that containg HTML tags.
Example:
IMPORT FILTER: Cascading XML > HTML

< content data-content-id='13784' >
< property data-name='Title' data-localizable='true >Title1
< property data-name='Description' data-localizable='true' >Translate < b >this text.< br >< br >Now! /< a href="https://www.google.com" >Please< /a >.< /div >]]>< /property >

< property data-name='Option1' data-localizable='true' >Option1/< /property >
< /content >

PROBLEM: I can't review my translation in the Preview pane because memoQ ignores the HTML formatting and shows all the XML markup.

GOAL: I want to see a preview of the translated text in memoQ that uses the HTML tags for formatting, just like it will look like when the XML is published.

Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
I've tried using assigning an XSLT file at import, as suggested in the following link, but to no avail: https://kb.kilgray.com/article/AA-00440/0/XSLT-transformation-file-for-XML-preview-rejected-by-memoQ-with-unsupported-format-error.html

Thanks for any help you might have!

Same here Feb 19, 2016

I just had the exact same problem. I ended up giving up MemoQ and translating manually in Word.
I already received three complaints from the client for bad formatting.
If there is a solution for this, I will be very happy too.
