In this case you need define custom field here keeping in mind to indicate how far back in the structure of nodes you need to go.

In the example above for instance let's say that we need to extract element desc having id form parent element item extracted into separate column.

To achieve this we need to define the node to be extracted as shown below (defining custom field into which the value of parent's attribute goes, here it HeadingCode custom field):

Result:

Extract node based on attribute value matches

//title[@translate="yes"]

Nodes to translate

Example

Extract all nodes of your file

Some further examples

Extract all <first level> nodes

Extract all nodes deeper than (each level introduced by /*)

All specifics nodes

Translate the attributes of a given node
