bump again.

Hi Keenan Cooper

I would say that you're right, it is because you unchecked 'Numbers' in your TM settings. Here are the settings I prefer to use:

The above affects if and how variables are to be recognised during translation. Then it is the 'autosubstitution' settings define that those variables are to be copied directly from source to target (via pretranslate or 'quick insert' for example). Then there are settings that define how these variables are to be localized. These autosubstitution settings can be applied project-specifically via Project settings/project template or generally via File>Options if you have the concerned language added there:

There are further settings, one step below the above, to define the autosubstitution of dates and times, self-obvious, then the 3rd subentry of the 'autosubstitution' settings is Measurements, and this defines how the spacing between a number and a unit of measurement should be performed during autopropagation for example.

An idiosyncrasy of this is that, if different from the way the first segment has been translated, these settings will overrule the spacing on all autopropagated numbers apart from those precisely the same as the first translated segment. This can be a nuisance if, for example, the first segment translated contains a number+letter combo that the software reads as a measurement when it's not. With 'always insert a space, a model number '30B' for example might autopropagate model number '20A' to '20 A' as it reads the A as an abbreviation for amps. Adding 20A to the Variables list in the TM should overrule this.

The above are just a few examples of settings that affect how variables are autosubstituted/autolocalized. Here is the section covering both in the SDL Trados Studio 2019 online help documentation:

Auto-substitution

The following entry in the online help covers Auto-propagation

The following entry from the above is on upLIFT Match Repair but it has no separate variables settings.

After reading these, feel free to come back and ask further questions here.

All the best,
