New Trados Number Verifier in Trados Studio 2021 does not work correct

I have used the new "Trados Number Verifier" app in Trados Studio 2021, but the said app has not worked correctly.

For example:

The English Source Segment "Hydrogen chloride solution (4.0 M in 1,4-dioxane, 9.15 mL, 37 mmol) was added via syringe to a stirred solution of intermediate 79-1 (4.80 g, 9.92 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (21.6 mL) and water (0.62 mL) at 0 °C." when translated to Portuguese-Brazilian on the Target Segment "Solução de cloreto de hidrogênio (4,0 M em 1,4-dioxano, 9,15 mL, 37 mmol) foi adicionada via seringa a uma solução agitada de intermediário 79-1 (4,80 g, 9,92 mmol) em 1,4-dioxano (21,6 mL) e água (0,62 mL) a 0 °C."; the Number Verifier app shows the message: "Missing source separators".

The Source Segment: "1H NMR (400 MHz, Methanol-d4) δ 8.34 (d, J = 2.8 Hz, 1H), 8.07 (s, 1H), 7.72 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.61 (dd, J = 8.8, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 7.27 (d, J = 4.8 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (d, J = 4.8 Hz, 1H), 4.96 – 4.78 (m, 1H), 4.74 (d, J = 5.3 Hz, 1H), 4.38 – 4.31 (m, 1H), 4.21 (t, J = 5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.19 – 4.12 (m, 1H), 4.11 – 3.97 (m, 3H), 3.72 (dd, J = 10.9, 3.4 Hz, 1H), 3.64 (dd, J = 10.9, 6.5 Hz, 1H), 3.49 – 3.40 (m, 2H), 1.56 – 1.43 (m, 2H), 1.43 – 1.18 (m, 30H), 0.92 (t, J = 6.7 Hz, 3H)." when translated to Portuguese-Brazilian on the Target Segment: 1H RMN (400 MHz, Metanol-d4) δ 8,34 (d, J = 2,8 Hz, 1H), 8,07 (s, 1H), 7,72 (d, J = 8,7 Hz, 1H), 7,61 (dd, J = 8,8, 2,9 Hz, 1H), 7,27 (d, J = 4,8 Hz, 1H), 7,16 (d, J = 4,8 Hz, 1H), 4,96 – 4,78 (m, 1H), 4,74 (d, J = 5,3 Hz, 1H), 4,38 – 4,31 (m, 1H), 4,21 (t, J = 5,6 Hz, 1H), 4,19 – 4,12 (m, 1H), 4,11 – 3,97 (m, 3H), 3,72 (dd, J = 10,9, 3,4 Hz, 1H), 3,64 (dd, J = 10,9, 6,5 Hz, 1H), 3,49 – 3,40 (m, 2H), 1,56 – 1,43 (m, 2H), 1,43 – 1,18 (m, 30H), 0,92 (t, J = 6,7 Hz, 3H)., the Number Verifier app shows the message: "Different sequences".

Conclusion: The new Trados Number Verifier app is worst than the previous version of Trados Number Verifier app.

See the Number Verifier Setting in Edit Notes, below.



The Number Verifier settings are: Report added numbers; Report removed numbers; Report modified numbers; Consider the order of the numbers in the segment pair; Allow localizations; Source thousands separators: Space No-break space Thin space Narrow no-break space Comma Period No Separator Target thousands separators: Period Source decimal separators: Period Target decimal separators: Comma Exclude: Exclude locked segments Exclude tag text Exclude untranslated segments Exclude draft segments

  • Hi ,

    This app is prone to give many false positives, but in my experience less false positives than the default number verifier.

    Having said that, you can minimize false positives in a couple of ways:

    the Number Verifier app shows the message: "Missing source separators".

    This is because it catches the string 1,4-dioxano. You can add the following regex:

    \d+,\d+-dioxano

    Trados Studio Regex exclusions window showing a pattern named 'dioxano' with the regex pattern 'd+,d+-dioxano' entered.

    here:

    Trados Studio exclusion settings with 'Exclude locked segments' and 'Exclude untranslated segments' checked, and an 'Add regexes' button visible.

    to get rid of this kind of false positive.

    Last, if you select these Source thousands separators (or play a little bit to tune it up):

    Trados Studio source thousands separators settings with 'Comma' checked, demonstrating different number formats with and without separators.

    you’ll have even less false positives (removes the Different sequence messages).

    I hope it helps something.
