Hi Titannick,
Since the file extension is .xml, our proxy assumes it is actually
XML, and thus we can't translate it.
I agree it would be nice if we actually fetched and downloaded the
content and checked what it was, but the best fix would be for rtl.nl
to use correct file extensions.
I'll look into whether we can fix this on our end, but you might
contact rtl.nl and let them know the problems caused by incorrect file
extensions.
Cheers,
Josh
