Hello,

Yes, Trados Studio does have features to localize numbers and dates. However, it's important to note that the software may not always handle long date formats correctly.

To localize numbers and dates, you can use the Auto-substitution feature. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio.

Step 2: Go to the "Project Settings" menu.

Step 3: Select "Language Pairs" and then "All Language Pairs".

Step 4: Click on "Auto-substitution".

Step 5: Here, you can enable the options for "Dates" and "Numbers" under the "Localization" section.

Remember, the auto-localization feature applies to all numbers and dates, so if you're experiencing issues with penalties being applied to numbers when you're trying to localize dates, you may need to adjust your settings or handle these elements manually.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

I rejected the reply from the AI.  It's a valiant attempt but not very clear, or comprehensive.

The short answer is yes.  The AI was pointing you towards the auto-substitution settings described here:

In addition to this you can control the format of numbers and other elements in the language resources of your Translation Memory:
