Auto-substitution of small letters for big letters...

I am translating a document with lots of what is actually 100% matches - BUT because the original match was with initial capital letter and the rest small letters and the new segment is the same BUT in large letters - the match becomes app a 90% match instead..

Is there really no way to have Studio automatically substitute small for big letters and count is a 100% match?

    As I am not familiar with AHK, I just press CTRL+A and SHIFT+F3. Takes not much time.

    What you also could do: prepare a project translation memory for this job, based on an analysis with minimum match value set to 95%. Export this TM to TMX. Open the TMX in Okapi Olifant, save as tab-delimited. Open this in Excel and replace the letters in alphabet a to z by A to Z. Then save the file, import into new TMX in Okapi Olifant, save as TMX, upgrade this to TM in Studio and use for translation.

    I know, this is a workaround, but should not take more than 30 minutes and provide what you are looking for.
