Hi,

Could you tell the expected behaviour of the rendering ? how it is supposed to look.

I tried testing one - File on SVG translate

It should look exactly like it looks on Commons. There is a problem with this file though, which is why this ticket exists. Try using the tool with other files like this one or this one.

The file has deeply nested tspan element: <text><tspan><tspan>Not to scale</tspan></tspan></text>.

I removed the deep nesting, but must await a cache timeout to see if that is the problem.

I removed the nested tspan, waited for the cache to clear overnight, clicked the SVG Translate link above, and SVG Translate found no text to translate.

There's a problem with the job description:

• "file on Commons"refers to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BirdBeaksA.svg, which has text
• "file on SVG Translate" refers to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BirdBeaks.svg (no "A" suffix), which has no text and therefore nothing for SVG Translate to do

If I invoke SVG Translate on my recent BirdBeaksA.svg, it works fine.

So the nested tspan may have been the problem, the problem has been fixed, or the initial report was invalid.

If the tspan was the problem, SVG Translate should have issued a better warning (e.g., the text element is too complicated to translate).

Otherwise, this report should be closed.

I returned BirdBeaksA.svg to the state where it had a nested tspan and ran SVG Translate.

That produced an error message:

• This file can not be translated with this tool because it contains unsupported SVG (nested tspan in #tspan2482) in the following text: Not to scale

So SVG Translate gives a warning for bad input.

File fixed.

Problem resolved.
