Customizing Date and Time formats
When segmenting text and auto-substituting placeables, Trados Studio uses a default list of dates and times for each source and target language. This list ensures that the date and time formats of the source language are recognized and localized correctly in the target language.
About this task
The Dates list and the Times list are stored in the Language Resources of your local translation memory (TM). These is called Language Processing Rules for server-based and cloud TMs.
To customize the patterns that are identified as dates and times, and the way that they are localized into the target language, edit the default Language Resources or Language Processing R that your TM is using.
You can edit the language resource for an existing TM in the Translation Memories view. Alternatively, create a language resource template with custom Dates and Times lists that you can then apply to all future local project TMs.
For cloud TMs
All the settings for cloud TMs are read-only in Trados Studio and can be updated only from RWS Language Cloud. To customize placeables for cloud TMs, open your cloud account in a browser, go to the Resources tab and update the Language Processing Rule that your cloud TM is using. For information on how to update cloud language processing rules and placeables, see the Language processing rules chapter in the Language Cloud documentation.
