Hi team,
I'm translating a document from English to Portuguese.
Trados identified "Lv.1" in the English source text as a variable and flagged it as a repeated item.
However, during actual translation, I couldn’t automatically replace "Nv.1" in Portuguese with "Nv.2" because the Portuguese "Nv.1" was not recognized as a variable.
Lv.1, lv.2 and on are recognised as alphanumeric strings not as variables. You can confirm that if you remove Alphanumeric strings from the tokens recogonized in your last screenhsot (no more blue underscore below Lv.1) or if you press the shprtcut CTRL+comma in the Editor (Lv.1 will show up as an item to be inserted):
So thaa’s why Trados Studio doesn’t do what you expected.
Can we make the numbers change automatically? Lv.1 to Lv.5
Can we make the numbers change automatically? Lv.1 to Lv.5
Can we make the numbers change automatically? Lv.1 to Lv.5
I don’t think so, please reject my answer above so other peers see this post as not-answered and may have ideas for you…
I guess, if you work interactively you could manage this using the regex autosuggest provider on the appstore: https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/275
And if you want a pre-translate solution you could try the Terminjector Plus: https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/350
Both of them can manipulate the translation base don the original source using regex.
