Hello,

To adjust the settings of the Trados Number Verifier, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the "Project Settings" dialog box.

Step 2: In the navigation pane, select "Verification".

Step 3: Here, you will see options for QA Checker 3.0 and Terminology Verifier. You can deselect these if you wish to disable them.

Step 4: To specifically adjust the settings for number verification, look for the "Number Verification" option. Here, you can customize how Trados Studio verifies numbers in your translations.

As for turning off the "different values" detection, this might not be possible as it is a built-in feature of Trados Studio to ensure the accuracy of translations. However, you can adjust the sensitivity of the number verification to better suit your needs.

I am using Trados Studio 2024 CU1. I do not wish to disable the Number Verifier totally. I want to stop getting false positives (“different values”). In the best of all worlds, the Number Verifier would understand that the dash indicates a range, and that in German “bis” can indicate a range. Can I disable just the module in the Number Verifier that is responsible for the “different values” check?

Hello,

Thank you for providing the version of Trados Studio you are using. Unfortunately, the "different values" check is a built-in feature of the Number Verifier in Trados Studio and cannot be disabled separately. This feature is designed to ensure the accuracy of translations, especially when dealing with numbers.

However, you can adjust the sensitivity of the number verification to better suit your needs. Here's how:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the "Project Settings" dialog box.

Step 2: In the navigation pane, select "Verification".

Step 3: Look for the "Number Verification" option. Here, you can customize how Trados Studio verifies numbers in your translations.

Step 4: Adjust the sensitivity of the number verification to a level that suits your needs. This might help in reducing the number of false positives you are experiencing.

Please note that while this might reduce the number of false positives, it might not completely eliminate them as the "different values" check is a core feature of the Number Verifier.

Could the regex-based exclusion option help?

"Probability score": 0.9

"Question improvement suggestion": No improvement needed, your question is clear.

In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

Hello,

Yes, the regex-based exclusion option could potentially help in this situation. Regular expressions (regex) can be used to define patterns of text, which in this case could be used to identify and exclude the ranges you're working with from the Number Verifier's checks.

Here's how you can set this up:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the "Project Settings" dialog box.

Step 2: In the navigation pane, select "Verification".

Step 3: Look for the "Number Verification" option.

Step 4: In the "Number Verification" settings, find the "Regular Expressions" section.

Step 5: Here, you can add a new regular expression that matches the pattern of the ranges you're translating. For example, you might use a regex like "\d+ bis \d+" to match any instance of one or more digits, followed by " bis ", followed by one or more digits.

Please note that while this should help reduce the number of false positives from the "different values" check, it may not completely eliminate them, as the Number Verifier is designed to be thorough in its checks to ensure the accuracy of translations.

In the end, I used the regex option in the number verifier to completely ignore the ranges as specified above:

And since this is just for one project and I know that there are no decimal or thousands separators in these ranges, I will check on the values with a separate regex:

There might be an easier way of doing this, but it works.
