PLACEABLE/TOKEN VERIFICATION

José Andrés Rubio

Hello, everybody,

Although my memory's setting include recognizing placeables (numbers, measurements, alphanumeric strings, dates, measurements, etc.) AND my project settings include auto-substituting them for my translation memory AND my Verification > QA Checker 3.0 settings include "Numbers" (dates, measurements, times and dates) AND all placeables/tokens (even alphanumeric product codes and product series) are successfully recognized during translation (underlined in blue in source segments), the Verifier fails to detect and warn me about alphanumeric strings (specifically, product codes and product series) that have not been used/placed correctly in my translated/confirmed segments upon launching the Review > Verify feature. I've researched for a specific solution both in this blog and the FAQ, but haven't been able to find one. Can anyone help me set my Verification/Verifier feature so that it will detect and warn me about alphanumeric strings (specifically, product codes and product series)? Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

José Rubio

    Hi José,

    I think the best thing for this is to set up a Regular Expression verification rule, where you use a grouped expression for the source and the condition to throw a warning or error if the source matches but no the target. Something like this, but with the right regex for your text, of course:

    Then you would get a warning like this:

    Hello again,

    I tried to implement Nora's suggested RegEx, but I think it could work only if I had in mind certain, specific alphanumeric strings (acronyms, product codes, product series, etc., or at least, their general character sequence/structure) that I could somehow represent with a RegEx. (My command of RegEx is quite limited.) However, what I need is to make sure that ANY alphanumeric strings (other than dates/times/measurements/numbers) that Studio might recognize as placeables in the source segments are properly used/placed in the target segments. Studios' QA Checker 3.0 can be set up to verify numbers (whether they are dates, times, measurements or plain digits), but I don't find an equivalent setting for other recognizable placeables/fields (acronyms and alphanumeric strings, for example.) Is this possible without using regular expressions, only by means of Studio's settings? If it's not possible, shouldn't it be made possible? Or else how can one approach that aspect of a complete QA?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help and input.
