Recognition settings

Recognition settings in a translation memory (TM) specify whether to identify elements that do not change during translation. If enabled, Trados Studio recognizes designated elements and treats them as placeables during translation. These items include variables, dates, times, numbers, measurements and acronyms.

Placeables can either be transferred directly from the current source segment to the new target segment or automatically converted to the correct target language format. For example, you can auto-localize date and time elements to the correct target language format. Variables are identified by a customized list you can create in the language resource template for your TM.
