Hidden text is showing in XTM Workbench despite not being visible in the source file

Sometimes you might see some segments in XTM Workbench which are not visible in the source file. Such content can be found within the XML structure of the file. IDML files are saved in XML format, which is readable by both humans and computers.

Examples:

Code Block
languagexml
<AuthorTitle>Contributor</AuthorTitle>
<Description>Produktionsanlagen der Chemieindustrie und Pharmaindustrie</Description>
<CopyrightInfoURL>https://www.gettyimages.com/eula?utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_campaign=iptcurl</CopyrightInfoURL>

Most of the information can be found in the file info tab for file creator, these values are saved automatically by InDesign.

Solution: Contact the XTM Support team and request creation of a proper configuration that will exclude the hidden content from translation in XTM Cloud.
