Description

What is the problem?

I tried to translate the city names in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vertical_references_in_Europe.svg to English but it didn't let me. Looking at the SVG source it looks like this:

<text
   xml:space="preserve"
   style="font-size:91.67308044px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:125%;letter-spacing:0px;word-spacing:0px;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;font-family:Times New Roman;-inkscape-font-specification:Times New Roman"
   x="3886.4937"
   y="2815.1726"
   id="text3908-1-5"
   sodipodi:linespacing="125%"><tspan
     sodipodi:role="line"
     id="tspan3910-7-0"
     style="font-size:122.2307663px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;font-family:DejaVu Sans;-inkscape-font-specification:DejaVu Sans"
     x="3886.4937"
     y="2815.1726">European Vertical </tspan><tspan
     sodipodi:role="line"
     style="font-size:122.2307663px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;font-family:DejaVu Sans;-inkscape-font-specification:DejaVu Sans"
     x="3886.4937"
     y="2967.9612"
     id="tspan4231">Reference System (EVRS)</tspan></text>

Steps to reproduce problem

Go to https://svgtranslate.toolforge.org/
type in Vertical_references_in_Europe.svg

Expected behavior: tool lets me translate the text because it's in a <text><tspan> element
Observed behavior: tool doesn't let me translate the file

The text element in the description looks acceptable: one text with single-level tspan elements and no #text.

Confirm that SVG Translate did not offer any translations.

The file had an empty text element in it. I removed that element.

Still fails.

The style elements have a * selector. Perhaps the CSS regex does not expect that?

Put fill="none" in svg element. Remove two CSS * {fill:none;} from style elements.

Still fails, but perhaps the SVG Translate cache has not emptied.

Ach! There is a third style element with a * selector. Removed it.

Still fails. Last test at 2:13 PM. Will wait and try again later.

Looked at third style block more closely. Do not see space issue (T271595). But it has CSS ID selectors!

<style
   id="style3795"
   type="text/css">
/* Default Definitions, can be overridden with the individual style selectors */
g.nationGroup path {fill:inherit;stroke:inherit}
g.nationGroup, path        { fill:#C0C0C0; stroke:white; stroke-width:8; } 
      /* stroke-width was originally at around 4px, but this makes it difficult to see when the image is smaller */
/* Geographic Features */
#ocean {opacity:1;fill:none;fill-opacity:1}
#lakes {opacity:0.4;fill:white;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;stroke-width:8}

</style>

Therefore, I expect this issue is a duplicate of T221382.

replaced CSS ID selectors with class selectors of IDENTocean and IDENTlakes.

Removed many empty CSS ID selectors in another style element.

SVG Translate now offers translations.
