Pascal Zotto,

There are a few things we could explore. This article as an example: https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/32919/numbers-and-currency-settings-for-auto-substitution----what-is-status

What version of Studio are you using?

Alison Field from my perspective you are queen of numbers, any advice?

Lyds

For what I know you cannot do that from the TM settings, but it should be quite simple using regex. As my regex knowledge is not very much advanced, I would go for:

search expression: (\d{1,3})?(\d{3}) to (\d{1,3})?(\d{3}) currency

replace expression $1.$2 to $3.$4 currency

This covers numbers from 1000 to 999999, however creates a problem with numbers below 1000. So depending on what you have more than one approach will be needed.

But in case you have only this in your lines, the solution could be a combination of filtering and replacing. To make a better proposal I need more examples.

Hi Lydia,

these settings have nothing to do with this problem as they are correctly set and they only copy the currency 1:1

Gosh my bad Pascal Zotto, I referenced an incorrect link. What I wanted to bring to your attention was the this app: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-toolkit/296/

It would allow you to adapt the strings using regex as Jerzy Czopik has since kindly shown

I trust this all helps

Lyds

I have that one installed but this only works on the sdlxliff itself. What I need is for correct propagation in Editor while translating.

Hi Jerzy Czopik,

you mean via Regex Match AutoSuggest Provider? How do I get this to work for propagation then?

Br,

Pascal

No, I meant just the plain search & replace on filtered segments. But Regex Match ASP should do also.

If the segments contain just the text you provided, I would simply filter on these segments, copy all source to target and run a search & replace. This works for me for all only number segments very well.

Lydia Simplicio Jerzy Czopik, Pascal Zotto,

Hi all,

Thanks for including me in this Lyds, but I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to read your email let alone the post... thanks Jerzy for stepping up to the plate!

All the best to all,

Ali

Hi Jerzy Czopik,

am still working on this one … so far I managed to get the regex refined so it would work with any numbers (lower than 1000 and higher than 999999) but it has the backdraw that I can't use back references to further replace the currency after the number (say add a space before the currency if the source string does not contain it):

String: 100 to 10000000010 USD

Regex: ([0-9](?=(?:[0-9]{3})+(?![0-9])))

Backreference: $&.               (whereas the dot after & can be replaced by the character you need as thousand separator e.g. dot, comma, space, non-breaking space, narrow non-breaking space) BTW $0. or $1. as backreference will also work

will give:

100 to 10.000.000.010 USD
