I'm afraid there is no way to do this in the current version of Studio.  Your best options are probably these:

1. let Studio do it's thing and search and replace the numbers to get the format you want afterwards
2. use the RegexAutoSuggest provider to convert the numbers as you work

I would go with 1. simply because this will ensure your TM is used efficiently and your numbers (albeit not formatted correctly) will be correct.  You just need to convert them before saving the target.

You might be able to tackle this in a slighly different way... would need to be tested... by search replacing the source before you start so that the numbers are converted in the way you would like them.  The SDLXLIFF toolkit could help you with this, but as I said, this would need to be tested first to see if a different format in the source could result in the target you want.

Yes, search-replace the source is the obvious way to go here for me, to work around SDL's inherent (and hard-wired) "helpfulness".

Indeed... hopefully there will be some improvements over this in the near future.

Hi Paul, 

I raised this very serious issue some time ago but never had an answer:

Source segment:

0 5 0 6 2 0 1 1 

I copy it and confirm it in the target, and then:

Another source segment such as 0 4 0 6 2 0 1 1 is autopropagated wrongly to the previous confirmed translation: 0 5 0 6 2 0 1 1 

This happens all the time with combinations with text. It makes studio propagation totally unreliable and prone to bad mistakes. In Studio 2021 there is still no way to prevent this, to deactivate placeables?

Thank you

Inaki

please provide a small sdlxliff so I can reproduce this with the same example you have.

seeing as I’m in this thread today… this problem is resolved with the current versions of Trados Sudio 2021.

Thanks for your reply.

I have disabled all automatic substitution in the project settings and the wrong propagation does not occur any more.

However, as I said, I have had this problem other times:

This is the current file:

Hi Paul, 

I have made new verifications

After replacing the memory with a brand new one and restoring autosubstitution to see whether the memory settings are a problem, the issue is gone.

Then have restored the main memory and indeed the propagation works ok. So misteriously the problem is gone. I will try to find another file where I had the same problem.
