Enable the Addon Builder option, Binarize, to make the addon PBO.
The problem only occurs with the latest version.
If you revert Arma3 Tools to the legacy version (1.040), all files can be binarized normally.

Can you explain what you mean by "not binarized correctly" ? What does "incorrectly" mean?
First of all thanks for the response.
The binarized stringtable.xml text does not appear in the game.
When I checked the created PBO, I found that a file called stringtable.bin was generated at the same time.
Thats a issue we suspected, thanks for confirming.
But stringtable.bin should work the same, so it should not actually be a problem?
We'll fix it soon-ish that it keeps both xml and bin
Was your issue that your stringtable only contained <Original> language entries? That is something we fixed in todays hotfix
