How to handle newline characters in translated text? - microsoft-translator

I'm using Custom translator to translate Russian text into English. Some sentences contain \n character that means newline. And my goal is to translate the text like there are no newlines in it, but I want to preserve this \n.
Example
russian:
очередь, к которой отнесен обработчик и в которой зарегистрированы
данные, которые он будет обрабатывать.
English translation:
queue to which the handler is assigned and in which the data that it
will process is registered
This text can have \n in different places:
очередь, к которой отнесен обработчик и в которой зарегистрированы
данные, которые он будет\nобрабатывать. очередь, к которой отнесен
обработчик и в которой зарегистрированы данные\n
которые он будет
обрабатывать. очередь, к которой отнесен обработчик и в
которой\nзарегистрированы данные, которые он будет обрабатывать.
And all translations should match the first one, but preserving the '\n' position.
Is it possible? I've tried to replace \n with <BR> or with but the translation is different.

Wow! Found the solution!
Need to replace \n with <b> </b>

I could not find an elegant way of doing it. But, found a workaround. You can replace the "\n" with some word or characters from a completely different script and the translator keep it as it is, without having any effect on the translation. After you get back the translated text you can replace your dummy word with "\n".
I translated
очередь, к которой отнесен обработчик и в которой зарегистрированы
данные, которые он будет मुखपृष्ठ обрабатывать. очередь, к которой
отнесен обработчик и в которой зарегистрированы данные मुखपृष्ठ
которые он будет обрабатывать. очередь, к которой отнесен обработчик и
в которой मुखपृष्ठ зарегистрированы данные, которые он будет
обрабатывать.
and it gave me
the queue to which the handler is assigned and where the data that it
will मुखपृष्ठ process is recorded. the queue to which the handler is
assigned and in which the data मुखपृष्ठ which it will process is
recorded. the queue to which the handler is assigned and in which the
मुखपृष्ठ recorded the data that it will process.
Here I have used a "hindi" word "मुखपृष्ठ" but you can probably try with something like Japanese or something.
Just to repeat, this is just a workaround that I have found to be working at this moment, don't know if this is good enough for all kinds of use cases or if it continue to work in future.

XPath to select all paragraphs between two headers?

I am trying to all p elements located between two h5 elements. The starting h5 text is "Subject" and the second h5 text is "tenders file".
You may see the picture attached as well.
I don't want to have other p elements which are coming after the second h5.
I have tried the following XPath:
//p[preceding-sibling::h5//*[contains(text() , 'SUBJECT')] and following-sibling::h5//*[contains(text() , 'Tender’s Files,')]] trying to get idea from [enter link description here][2]
but could not get the right paragraphs. It still selects other paragraphs after the second h5.

Using techniques from the following Q/A:
XPath to select all elements between two headings?
Testing text() nodes vs string values in XPath
The following XPath,
//p[ preceding-sibling::h5[starts-with(normalize-space(),'SUBJECT:')]
and following-sibling::h5[normalize-space()='Tender’s Files,']]
will select all p elements between your two targeted headlines, as requested.
Update after OP included actual markup:
Your actual markup includes duplicate
<h5><strong>Tender’s Files,</strong></h5>
headings. The above XPath will select through to the last such heading.
If you want to select through only the first such heading, use this XPath instead:
//p[ preceding-sibling::h5[starts-with(normalize-space(),'SUBJECT:')]
and following-sibling::h5[normalize-space()='Tender’s Files,']
and not(preceding-sibling::h5[normalize-space()='Tender’s Files,'])]
Your xpath should work if you add this:
//p[preceding-sibling::h5//*[contains(text() , 'SUBJECT')] and (following-sibling:: h5//*[contains(text() , 'Tender’s Files,')])[2]]

Fixing broken CSV with Windows line endings

It has several problems:
line endings are ^M character (see "What does ^M character mean in Vim?"),
final 5th column contains multiline lines,
final 5th column is not properly escaped, e.g. and it's the one that has bare comas sitting around.
What I know for sure that:
the CSV has 5 columns,
line ending is always ^M (e.g. it's Windows-encoded line-ending).
How can I make a proper CSV out of this one?
I think I overreacted about the complexity of this. The following code in Elixir splits the CSV file into correct list of lists:
File.read!("sample.csv")
|> String.split("\r\n")
|> Enum.map(&String.split(&1, ",", parts: 5))

Just in case you want a function that can remove Windows end of line:
" dos2unix ^M
if !exists('*Dos2unixFunction')
fun! Dos2unixFunction() abort
"call Preserve('%s/ $//ge')
call Preserve(":%s/\x0D$//e")
set ff=unix
set bomb

set fileencoding=utf-8
endfun

HTML to readable text in Swift

I need to make a reader func in my Swift App. I will receive text (with json request) in HTML like this :
<h5 align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal;"> </h5>
<font size="3"><h5 align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal;">
Albert Einstein publie en 1905, une nouvelle théorie connue sous le nom de relativité restreinte. </h5>
<h5 align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal;"></h5>
<h5 align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal;"><font color="#339933">►</font>
<font size="3">Postulat 1 :</font>
</h5><h5 align="LEFT" class="western" style="font-weight: normal;">
</h5>
And I want to show it in readable text with all the attribute, I don't want to lose the style, for that I can use HTMLReader.
Do you know a way to make it in Swift ?
These are define in html file, then have to use webview:
objweb.delegate = self
var path = NSBundle.mainBundle().bundlePath
var baseUrl = NSURL.fileURLWithPath("\(path)")
let bundle = NSBundle.mainBundle()
let pathhtml = bundle.pathForResource("Armory", ofType: "html")
let content = NSString.stringWithContentsOfFile(pathhtml) as String
objweb.loadHTMLString(content, baseURL: baseUrl)
self.view.addSubview(objweb)

Form displays correctly on 1 landing page but not other - what am I missing?

I've embedded a form built in Marketo on two landing pages on our site. I'm using the same javascript provided by Marketo for both pages (see code below). While the form appears correctly on page 1, the field label and cell appear far to the left on page 2.
Can someone explain why this is happening and how to fix page 2 to look lik page 1?
Page 1 code:
[column lg="3" ] [/column] [column lg="6" md="12" sm="12" xs="12" ]<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>HEADLINE HERE</strong></span></h4><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">TEXT HERE</span><br /> <br /> <script src="//app-ab05.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.js"></script>
<form id="mktoForm_1035"></form>
<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-ab05.marketo.com", "578-AFO-782", 1035);</script>[/column] [column lg="3" ][/column]
Page 2 code:
<p>[column lg="3"] [/column] [column lg="6" md="12" sm="12" xs="12" ]</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">TEXT GOES HERE</h4>
<p> </p>
<script src="//app-ab05.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.js"></script>
<form id="mktoForm_1035"></form>
<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-ab05.marketo.com", "578-AFO-782", 1035);</script>
[/column] [column lg="3"] [/column]</p>
Page 2 looks like it has a few extra paragraph elements that Page 1 does not have. Page 2 is also missing the span element of Page 1. I would recommend removing the paragraph elements and add the span element, and then see if Page 2 looks correct. Try this:
[column lg="3"] [/column] [column lg="6" md="12" sm="12" xs="12" ]
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>TEXT GOES HERE</strong></span>
</h4><br /> <br />
<script src="//app-ab05.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.js"></script>
<form id="mktoForm_1035"></form>
<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-ab05.marketo.com", "578-AFO-782", 1035);</script>
[/column] [column lg="3"] [/column]</p>

Is there a way to format in excel to turn the text into HTML?

Basically when I enter text in an excel cell, I want this (which will be centered):
Weight:10 lbs
Length: 21"
Width: 14"
to become this in another cell:
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"></font><br></p><p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial">Weight:10lbs<br></font><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Length: 21"<br>Width: 14" </span></p>
I appreciate any help! Thank you!
The other two answers are both very valid. This solution does not use VBA. It is similar to John's except that it uses multiple instances of SUBSTITUTE to create the new text from a template.
Assume Your values are in A2-C2 (This is arbitrary and up to your discretion).
Template in $A$1
<p><br></p>
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial">
{0}<br></font><span style="font-size: small;">{1}<br>{2}"
</span></p>
Result Text
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A$1, "{0}", A2), "{1}", B2), "{2}", C2)
The advantage over a method that uses concatenation, is that you can radically change the order in which items appear in the template without having to change the function that produces the result.
Even if your template was changed to the one below, the same function using substitute does not have to be changed, which is convenient if you have a low of rows.
<div>{2}<table><tr><td>{0}</td><td>{1}</tr></table></div>
What about:
Cell A1: <p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"></font><br></p><p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial">
Cell B1: Weight:10lbs
Cell C1: <br></font><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
Cell D1: Length: 21"
Cell E1: <br>
Cell F1: Width: 14"
Cell G1: </span></p>
And the result you want is
Cell H1: =A1&B1&C1&D1&E1&F1&G1
Rearrange the columns to whatever is convenient, pull out the field names and just use the measurements, etc. ... same idea.
If you already have all three fields in a single cell, then you can split them out into columns easily enough:
If your data are in A1, place =SUBSTITUTE(A1, CHAR(10), "|") to get the data separated by vertical lines in B1.
Paste B1 by value into C1.
Use the Text to Columns tool to separate the fields in C1 into C1 and the adjacent columns, using | as the delimiter.
Your requirement is not clear, this is what I have:
Public Sub Change()
Dim a As String
a = Range("A1:A1")
'MsgBox a
Dim resultCell As Range
Set resultCell = Range("A2:A2")
Dim splitVals As Variant
splitVals = Split(a, Chr(10))
resultCell.Value = "<p align='center'><font size='2' face='Arial'></font><br></p><p align='center'><font size='2' face='Arial'>" & splitVals(0) & "<br></font><span style='font-family: Arial; font-size: small;'>" & splitVals(1) & "<br>" & splitVals(2) & " </span></p>"
End Sub
Put your values in first cell with Alt + enter as new line and you will get your result below that.
