Auto-localization of units of measurements

Question

Hi everybody, 
 Recently I have received a file for translation with lots of segments with numbers plus units of measurements (e.g. 15.2 ml ). Studio 2017 can&rsquo;t auto-localize the whole segment in Russian and only provides AT suggestion like &ldquo; 15,2 ml &rdquo;. So it localizes the number, but keeps the unit unchanged, and I have to manually edit the AT suggestion like &ldquo; 15,2 мл &rdquo;. There are a lot of such segments, and I would like to streamline the translation process a bit. 
 I&rsquo;ve decided to try TermInjector app from the AppStore to modify the output of the AT engine. With RegEx &ldquo; ([0-9]+).([0-9]+) ml=\1,\2 мл= &rdquo; the app is able to localize sentences with units of measurements. 
 
 But it does not work with segments with only a number and a unit of measurements. 
 
 I&rsquo;ve tried different regular expressions and exact match rules, but TermInjector can&rsquo;t modify the required AT suggestion. 
 Is it possible to configure TermInjector so it can replace &ldquo;ml&rdquo; with &ldquo;мл&rdquo; in such segments? 
 Maybe there is another app for that, or I should somehow configure Studio (for example turn off AT suggestions for these segments)?

Hi Roman, 
 
I would try turning off the AT suggestions (so disable number recognition on the TM). Otherwise I'd just let Studio do it's thing and then search and replace across the project in one go afterwards.

Thanks a lot, Paul!

Turning off measurements recognition in TM settings works perfectly. Now TermInjector is able to replace units.
And as far as I understand now, the measurements recognition option in case of Russian language is useless, because Studio “localizes” units into their latin variants, so it’s ok to keep this setting turned off for all ru-en TMs.
