Hi Jean-Arve,

Is it possible to store characters such as backspace (0x08) or BEL (0x07) in the <source> and <target> tag in an XLIFF document by using a special kind of tag, or do I have to use my own tag in my own namespace?

According to the XML spec, an XML document is not valid if it contains one of these. (More precisely, only #x09 (TAB), #x0A and #x0D are the allowed characters in the #x00-#x1F range).

XLIFF files are XML documents and as such they must conform to XML rules.

You will have to replace backspace and bell characters with tags or use characters from the Unicode private range [E000-F8FF] to represent them.
