Description
Transifex is preventing the translation of certain strings. For instance in strings.xml:
<xliff:g id="user">%1$s</xliff:g> is online
The error it throws is: Error: "Namespace prefix xliff on g is not defined, line 1, column 17", though I couldn't find information about it.
Our friends at Ushahidi have some best practices:

Here's a pull request that should help with this:

But it is not entirely fixed yet in Transifex:

- Status changed from New to Closed
We have a workable solution for this for now, using the ./fix-xliff-tags script, until Transifex completely fixes their handling of this.
