Can anyone tell me how I can have Trados recognize dates in the following format: "May 25th 2024"?

  • Hello,

    To have Trados Studio recognize and automatically translate dates in the "MMMM dth yyyy" format, you can follow these steps:

    Step 1: Go to "File" in the top menu.

    Step 2: Select "Options".

    Step 3: Navigate to "Language Pairs".

    Step 4: Select your specific language pair.

    Step 5: Click on "Translation Memory and Automated Translation".

    Step 6: Choose "Auto-substitution".

    Step 7: Click on "Dates and Times".

    Step 8: Here, you can select your preferred formats for long and short dates and times.

    If Trados Studio still doesn't recognize the date format, you can use the Regex Match AutoSuggest Provider. This tool allows you to define your own patterns for recognition, such as the "MMMM dth yyyy" format.

    Remember, the correct use of Regex patterns can be complex, so it's important to test your patterns thoroughly before using them in a live project.

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

    Best regards,
