Specifying Auto-Localization settings
You can specify auto-localization settings for dates, times and measurements.
Procedure
- Go to the settings page:
- For all future projects: File > Options > Language Pairs > [language pair] > Translation Memory and Automated Translation.
- For the current project: Project Settings > Language Pairs > [language pair] > Translation Memory and Automated Translation
- For a project template: File > Setup > Project Templates. Select a template, and then select Edit.
- Select Dates and Times from navigation and specify how you want dates and times to be auto-localized.
- Select Measurements from navigation and specify what spacing you want to use between the number and unit in a Measurement when it is auto-localized.
Note:
If the recognition settings in your selected translation memory (TM) are not enabled to recognize these items, auto-localization does not occur and these items are treated as normal, translatable words. See Translation Memory Settings.
- If you also want auto-localization to occur at the same time as auto-substitution when applying matches form the TM, select Auto-substitution from navigation. The Auto-substitution settings are displayed in the right pane.
- Select the checkbox next to each item you want to use in auto-substitution: dates, times, numbers, measurements, variables and acronyms.
- Select OK to close the Options, Project Settings or Project Template Settings dialogs.
