Helle everyone,

First, I would like to thanks the community for taking the time for reading this question.  I have just bought Trados 2017 and I am very happy and excited with all its functionalities.

I basically, I could say, 90% of the time, work with the Spanish -> Portuguese pair, as I do translate Mexican soap operas for dubbing studios. 

I have decided to buy Trados 2017 mainly due to the AdaptiveTm function but I have realized that this is not available on the pair languages I work with; hopefully it will be available in a few years.

So here goes my question:  I do pre-translate the files before working on it (AT).  I still need to make several changes on the files.  Normally I do them using the find and replace function.  Is there any way Trados could perform those changes automatically on a pre-translated file?  Those are changes that I need to perform on each of the scripts I translate. Every time I open a file, I do perform a big list of find and replace.

Those are the results I get from the AT.  As it is not Adaptive, I need to change every single time it pops up.

Here are some examples from what I change :

{space}para{space} ->{space}pra{space},

{space}#name{space} ->{space}#name1{space}

Hope someone has an answer, as it would save me at least 10 minutes per day.

Best regards,
