add a way to format isotopes correctly

Hi,

would it be possible to add a way to format isotopes correctly (e.g. like in Word where you insert a formula in a specific format). See this Video on how to write isotopes in Word for a better understanding.

The problem is that you need a superscript AND a subscript one upon the other. Screenshot showing a table of isotopes with incorrect formatting in Trados Studio. Superscripts and subscripts are not aligned, displaying as '(_1236)U' instead of the correct format.

Preparing them in Word and copying them to Trados does not work as I then get: (_1^236)U Or maybe it's just a that Trados needs to be taught to display them correctly?

Best regards,

Pascal

From my point, I would say, this should be fixed in the source file. The equation are super complex and I don't see this realisticaly being implemented in Studio or LC Editor.

sometimes I have to transcribe or insert them as they were not included in the text but belong there. So, I don't need to change them if they are there (in that case Paul's tag solution would work) but due to bad file preparation from the client I sometimes would need to add them as they are 'missing' in source.

I prepared a small file in Word like this:

DOCX

In Studio I see this:

How are you seeing this as translatable text in the first place?

Hi,

why would you even localize such content? Is there any need to change it?
