Use the XML Entity conversion settings to specify how the WorldServer editor displays character entities to translators. If a character entity is selected for conversion, WorldServer displays the character during translation, then re-encodes the character into its entity reference form, which it inserts into the translated file.
Example: if the character entity is >, the translator sees the character >, and the translated character is encoded as entity >.
If a character entity is not selected for conversion, the entity reference (>) is displayed rather than the character (>).
The Entity conversion page has two panes: Entity Conversion and Entity Mappings.
| Box | Description |
|---|---|
| Convert Entities | Select this check box to enable entity conversion. If you clear this box, no conversion takes place. |
| Advanced | Click this button to display the Advanced XML Entity Settings dialog box where you can specify when characters are converted between entity representation and character representation. |
| The list of entity sets has the following columns.
Note: Entities are grouped into entity sets. For example, the entity in HTML is in the HTML special entity set.
|
|
| Name |
|
| Type |

The lower pane displays the entities in an entity set, along with their character and Unicode equivalents. It also lets you add, remove and edit these character entities.
To prevent a character entity from being converted, clear the associated check box.
If you add or edit an entity, the corresponding entity set is flagged as being default rather than custom.
| Box | Description |
|---|---|
| Add | Click to add an entity to the set. The Add Entity Mapping dialog box is displayed. |
| Edit | Select an entity name and click this to edit the entity mapping. The Edit Entity Mapping dialog box is displayed. |
| Remove | Select an entity name and click this to remove the entity from the entity set. |
| Reset | Click to reset all the entities in this entity set to their default settings. |
