SDL v. 2019
Is there any way of getting SDL to just copy numbers (segments without any alphabetic text) from Source to Target... and automatically apply "Translated" or "Translation Approved" as the segment status?
I find it very strange that this is not default behaviour in my current setup.
Actually, automatic translation of numbers is the default behaviour in Studio.
If you want the numbers to be confirmed as Translated, once you have translated one number-only segment to your translation memory, any number-only segment in any job translated using that TM thereafter is automatically translated as part of the pretranslate batch task and will be given Translated status.
The default setting of a TM is to recognise numbers, so make sure that they are ticked in the TM you're using:
Even without a translation memory, however, it is the default setting to have auto-substitution of numbers turned ON under any language pair in your profile or in project settings that have a language pair added, as demonstrated here in a project's settings:
this means you can pretranslate without a TM and the number-only segments will be automatically translated and given AT status.
So, the language pair has to be present in the project settings if you're working with projects or project templates.
Alternatively, you can add language pair/s to your global profile via File>Options>All language pairs>Add:
The default setting for a language pair is always to translate number-only segments automatically, giving them the AT status (Automatic Translation) but you can use a display filter to select 'Number only' segments then highlight them all and change their status to Translated, or you can just confirm the first one and the rest will automatically be confirmed.
I think I've covered everything, ask me if not 
All the best,
