Android xml resource (strings.xml) containing tags aren't parsed correctly

[spocky]

As described here Android resources can contain xliff tags. For example :

<string name="shortcuts_additional_settings">
  <xliff:g id="vendor" example="Xiaomi">%1$s</xliff:g> additional settings
</string>

Unfortunately, when they do, the synchronized resource is not parsed correctly. With the example above, the text (appearing in the left column) will contain the whole string tag, and not only its content.

A workaround for a correct parsing would be to include content in CDATA, but this would then lead to Android studio not replacing %1$s with example data, as it does with the initial syntax.

Is there any way to make the xml parser not fail and output the whole tag instead of only its content as it normally should ?

Thanks for the report! We're in the process of switching file parsers and serializers to our new moz.l10n library, which will allow Pontoon to support cases like this.
