Hi there,

I would like to deactivate auto-substitution and am unable to do so. I got the latest version of Studio 2019.

I tried to uncheck the boxes under auto-substitution under specific language pair (I activated my TM for this language pair), but no effect. Nornally, in specsheets I use the feature a lot, but it is always difficult if you have those elements mixed up with other text in the same segment. The difference between variables, alphanumerics and measurement is not clear to me: €1,250 does not stop to be recognized unchecking neither of the boxes. Actually, the only thing I got to work ever was data formats and choosing the mode of space entering in specsheet measurements. These are also the featres described in Help, when I press F1 in that checkbox window. But deactivating  - nope.

There are 2 problems:

1 The auto-substitution comes always first in the list, when I press CTRL+ Comma. The order does not changed as they are "consumed" like it does with tags. So if I have a text full of "COVID-19" and a tag in each segment it takes me a lot more time to choose from the list CTRL+Comma-list than just using predictive typing for "COVID-19" and pressing CTRL+Comma+Enter for the tag. Same with numbers

Can I prioritize the feature, so the auto-substitution comes after the tag quick insert? That would be even better than switching it off.

2 independently from auto-substitution (this is actually a different topic) I have no control, i.e. I cannot change the variable/alphanumeric/..., I do not know how there are recognized or defined. Imagine I would have a XH3BTEN20 in EN, but in DE they want it to be XH3BTDE20. I can add a term, but it is still in the CTRL+Comma list and slows me down when I insert tags. Same with adding "€1,250 >> 1.250 Euro" it to the regex auto-suggest list: I have it in the list then, but the auto-substitute is still working and I cannot even look up if my expression as a measurement (seems not) or a variable or something. It's vague.

Is there an expression file for this feature?

Thanks for help!
