Sorry, that penultimate sentence wasn't clear. I meant to say that if I put "(\d\.\d{3}) of" in the target, it won't flag any entries where I use the correct format but the wrong number. E.g.:

Source: "1.234 de 2022"

Target: "1.235 de 2022"

Hi Timothy,

I think that you chose the wrong condition if you want to use back references to grouped expressions. Try once with the one highlighted in green instead of the red one you used:



Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Thanks. Hadn't spotted that!

Hi Timothy Barton 

Your example of

Spanish says "Decreto 1.234", I must call it "Decree 1.234", not "Decree 1,234" or "Decree 1 234".

will be a perfect case for using Number Verifier: Trados Number Verifier 

Glad you have two options now, with the key difference being you dont need RegEX

Have a good day

As far as I can tell, the number verifying option doesn't let add a list of words after which the number must be in a particular format, so I don't think the number verifier is going to help me here. If I set it to use the format "1.234" in English it's going to flag false positives like "1,234 people".

Correct. Your use case is very specific. You have to use the Regex option. If you encounter "Decreto 1.234" a lot, try the plugin Regex Autosuggest. It can speed up your translations quite a bit (does not replace the verification, but speeds up typing and reduces chances of mistyping).

Aha! I normally work with memoQ and was frustrated at there being no "auto-translatables" option, but it seems there is. Thanks for pointing that out. So the best solution is to add both an Autosuggest and a Verifier entry?

It seems I misunderstood. When you said "If you encounter 'Decreto 1.234' a lot", you meant literally that Decreto, with that number. Please consider developing an Autosuggest function with pattern matching, so that we can add things like "Decreto (\d\.\d+\b)" > "Decree $1".
