NMT is completely changing numbers from source to target!

Question

Is anyone else having this issue? the NMT suggestions often completely change numbers, especially when percentages are involved.

Is anyone else having this problem? It's not just a one off, I am constantly having to change numbers back. Is there anything I can do about this? 
 Thanks 
 Anna

 It&rsquo;s probably due to the wrong decimal separator used in Spanish (Spain). If it&rsquo;s Spanish Mexican it&rsquo;s right, but the MT engine might not understand it. Which Spanish version are you using? I did a quick text in the free DeepL version availavle at www.DeepL.com and use the wrong decimal separator, and the result was OK. Which MT engine are you using? 
 I&rsquo;d pre-process the source file and replace a couple of dot decimal separators (.) with commas (,), and then re-open the prepared document in Trados Studio to check if this time everything was OK. If it&rsquo;s you know the reason and then you may want to replace all decimal separators before the percentage symbol.

 Are you using the Language Weaver plugin, or Cloud-based Resources for the Language Weaver MT? If the plugin can you test with Cloud-based Resources and see if you get the same result... and vice-versa? 
 Thank you.
