Hi,

I have been using kbabel to translate xliff files and have come across a 
particularly nasty bug:

If the xliff file contains empty target tags then they are never filled 
when you save the file. Kbabel silently ignores them (I have just lost a 
day's work :( ).
say you have:
      <trans-unit resname="resname" id="6" >
        <source>This is the source</source>
        <target/>
      </trans-unit>

in the kbabel interface you can fill the target all you want, when you 
save the file it will remain empty.
On the other hand if you either have no target tag or a non-empty target 
tag, it works.

Another part of this bug is the fact that you absolutely cannot empty a 
target with kbabel. The same happens, the empty string is NOT serialized 
ant the old value of the target tag is kept.

Any ideas ?
Samuel.
