This is a text of 13,000 words French to English. Several times I have the following segment in French:

"19 MARS 2021"

I have translated this as "19 MARCH 2021".

And yet, now, as I go through these segments rereading (still in "Translate" mode as I never use "Review" mode for various reasons), whenever it runs through these lines and adjacent "CM" matched segments, it *automatically* changes this to "19 March 2021".

I have tried many times to turn off unwanted automation in this application. It appears to have got this from the TM... but I'm not sure.

Could this be due to Language Pairs --> French->English --> Translation Memory --> Auto-substitution --> Dates and Times ? Here "Long date" is down as "dd MMMM yyyy", and the example given is "12 May 2021".

When I uncheck "Dates" in Auto-substitution, this doesn't supply anything. My tests about whether this is indeed the cause are inconclusive (instead of speeding through a series of CMs, for some unaccountable reason the "speeding through" doesn't happen after I change something in the project settings).

Can you confirm that SDL is unable to "respect the case" when doing a date auto-substitution? At least that way I would be able to devise a strategy to avoid such nonsense.

And yet... this "overriding of case of dates" in a segment with "draft" status never apparently happens when a date is found in the context of a proper sentence, rather than all alone in a segment.

Some explanation about what is going on would be helpful.
