Ranges in Trados Number Verifier

Question

When translating from English to German, I translate &ldquo;For ages 12&ndash;36 months&rdquo; or &ldquo;For ages 1&ndash;4&rdquo; using &ldquo;bis&rdquo;: 
 &ldquo;&hellip; von 12 bis 36 Monaten&rdquo; or &ldquo;&hellip;von 1 bis 4 Jahren&rdquo; 
 How can I tell the Trados Number Verifier that this is okay?

If possible, I'd like to turn the whole "different values" detection off, but I can't see where this could be done.

 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.
