Translation updates on hold

[Nikerabbit]

Hi, I've paused translation updates due to unresolved parsing issue I commented in 96173e2#r27787891

Let's try to find a quick way to solve this.

@Nikerabbit Do you think any of the solutions at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10374847/is-there-a-way-to-store-a-string-with-markup-in-the-strings-xml would help? Or is it just the < and > that are causing problems, and we can replace those with the escape characters?

The issue is that I am using PHP's SimpleXML and when I am trying to read the text value of something that contains other tags it seems to return null.

Escaping < and > would work, both using CDATA and using entities. For exported translations they would be escaped as <u>.

Third way would be to fix our file format parser to understand u/i/b tags which are allowed by the spec as far as I know, but I don't know any straightforward way to do it using SimpleXML. Maybe something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4145424/getting-the-xml-content-of-a-simplexmlelement but have to be careful not to break other things.

Anyone, please feel free to submit a PR for this. Should be a fairly straightforward fix. :)
