Hello,

It seems like you're trying to enable Automated Translation (AT) for localized numbers in Trados Studio 2022. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio 2022.

Step 2: Go to the "Project Settings" and select "Language Pairs".

Step 3: Select "All Language Pairs" or the specific language pair you're working with.

Step 4: Click on "Translation Memory and Automated Translation".

Step 5: Under "Automated Translation", make sure the "Use" box is checked. If it's not, click on it to enable Automated Translation.

Step 6: Under "Options", check the box for "Apply automated translation to whole document". This will apply the automated translation to all segments in your document, including those with numbers.

Step 7: Click "OK" to save your settings.

If the option for 'Apply automated translation' is not clickable, it might be because you haven't set up an Automated Translation provider. To do this:

Step 1: Go to "File" > "Options" > "Language Pairs" > "Translation Memory and Automated Translation".

Step 2: Click on "Add" under "Automated Translation Providers".

Step 3: Select your preferred Automated Translation provider from the list and click "OK".

Step 4: Follow the prompts to set up your Automated Translation provider.

Once you've done this, you should be able to enable Automated Translation and apply it to your entire document, including segments with numbers.

Remember, Trados Studio 2022 has a feature that recognizes numbers and can auto-localize them. However, if the numbers aren't recognized, you might need to manually localize them. You can do this by copying the source to the target and replacing the numbers as needed.

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

Best regards,

I can't see the "Use" box I need to check...

I cannot see the "Add" button either, see the screenshot below.

However, Automated Translation doesn’t seem to have been enabled

I guess it’s disabled because you haven’t set any machine translation provider.

I’d pre-translate that file now. Then all integer numbers and decimal numbers should be translated. If there are numbers with thousand separators, such as 1,234.56, you may need to translate them as well before the pre-translation step.

Last I’d filter by numbers using this regex:

^[0-9.,]+$

and ensure that all numbes are translated.

Finally select them all segments and lock them.

Hi Jesus,

Do you mean I need to choose MT from here? If I choose DeepL MT, for example, all content will be pre-translated, which is not what I want. I have a feeling that Trados 2022 should localize numbers automatically... am I missing something?

No, I said that the radio button was disabled because you hadn’t set any MT provider.

Try my suggestion.

I am sorry, I don't understand how to set MT provider to activate that button?

You don’t need to…

Did you try the procedure with the regex in my first post above?

The procedure is too complicated for me, I am afraid.

1st step: Pre-translate your file. To do so, press Batch Tasks and select Pre-Translate Files.

Done? Not that difficult, right?

2nd step: Open the file again, and in the Review ribbon, you just need to copy & paste the regex mentioned above in the following text box and press the ENTER key:

Browse all the segments. Are all translated? Then you can lock them.

Final step: Press the Reset Filters button to go on translating non-numerical segments.

Thank you for your explanation and patience with me.

I will try this tomorrow (it's late in my part of the world) and will report back.
