Sorry but ... I can't deal NUMBERS

Hello guys, and good morning everybody!

PLEASE ... I know I should have not open this ticket BUT, really, I am missing something.

I am getting crazy with tons of telefon numbers, auction numbers etc ... I do not understan how trados reads that token, why it changes them, with what logic! It is is making my 180 page translation harden than I had translated in microsoft word beacuse checking numbers is hard!

For example ... ho to prevent to change things like THIS ... ?

Screenshot showing Trados Studio translation segment where the original number '97766' is incorrectly translated to '7022'.

I understand it tries to translate доб. with ext. ... and this is ok ... But why then 97766 becomes 7022 ???
And, even worse ... the tel.number itself changes?

I did uncheck the number sostitution but it doesn't help ...

Screenshot of Trados Studio project settings with the 'Automatic Substitution' option for 'Numbers' unchecked.


PLEASE!
I really NEED to find a solution and fix this!
Thank You for comphension!
Pietro

  • This can be problem when Studio doesn't recognise a string in one piece, which you can see because the broken blue lines under the source.  There are two fairly straightforward solutions to this depending on the context of your text.

    If these are all as you have shown then simply filter on these segments using one of the display filters,then copy source to target and use a simple search & replace to correct the only part that needs translating at the end.

    Or use something like the regex auto-suggest provider and convert the string into exactly what you need interactively as you work.  If you give us the proper conversion I can show you how to do this?

  • PLS Paul!
    I would really appreciate that!

    I though about option 1 BUT can't build a filter ... Cry

    Trados Studio interface with a translation project open, showing various segments with phone numbers and email addresses. Annotations indicate confusion about how to change number formats.

    Or ...

    Close-up of Trados Studio filter settings with question marks indicating uncertainty on how to use the feature. A note mentions lack of knowledge about regular expressions.

    What You mean, Paul, by "proper conversion"?

    I could tell You: "I need trados canche tel.numbers from a format like 1111 доб.222 into 1111 ext.222" or maybe "I wish it changes 123 факс 45 into 123 fax:45"

    BUT ... Here many nubers have so many different formates ... Sometimes they are like 7-495-123 in other cases they are 7(495)123, in a cases 7-(495)-123 etc ... This is a DELIRIUM!

    There are so many ... Translating from Russian sentences about "melt traps for radioactive plasma in termonuclear reactor" is being much easier thatn check all these numbers ... Sweat smileSob
