Number recognition

Gill Barringer

I am new to Trados and have just practising what I have learnt in the Webinar I participated in last week. Please excuse any questions that may appear 'silly' to an experienced user.  I am at that stage when I am getting to grips with some of the concepts of a CAT tool.

I am having a few problems getting my Trados (Studio 2017) to behave in the same way as it was shown in the Webinar. I understand it handles number recognition well and underlines the number in blue which means you can "CTL ," to transfer a number over in to the TT in the format of the TT country. However, numbers in the files I have imported into Trados are not underlined in blue in editor mode and  so "CTL ," does nothing whatsoever. I have checked Fields and setting and numbers box is ticked (along with variables, times dates etc.) and so I cannot understand why it doesn't recognise numbers thus not allowing me access to the facilities available with that tool. I appreciate that with my very limited knowledge of Trados, I may be missing something very fundamental here.  Is there anybody who can help?

Also (changing the subject), just to check my understanding: you can only switch on 'autosuggest dictionaries' and 'UpLIFT' when you sufficient TU's in your memory but not before? 

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Gill.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for you response and for confirming my understanding on UpLift and Autosuggest.

    Re: number recognition, please could you clarify what you mean by 'active' TM (apologies that I am very new to Trados and just finding my feet). At the beginning, after I have opened a file (e.g. Word, Excel etc.) in Trados (Welcome screen - by dragging and dropping or browsing), it then goes into the project setting dialogue box where I choose the TM I want to use (and update) on the project. On ensuring that the relevant boxes are ticked (usually all of them for at least one of the TM's) and clicking OK (which automatically takes me into editor mode), does this mean that I have an 'active' TM or is there something else I need to do?

    Thanks!

    Gill.
