Specifying regular expressions for QA Checker
You can use regular expressions to verify the integrity of your translations.
Regular expressions are used to search text for all occurrences of a particular sequence or pattern of characters. They differ from standard search tools because they use special metacharacters.
Metacharacters enable you to create a single regular expression that will find all occurrences of a basic pattern and also specific variations of the pattern. Specify regular expressions to find particular string patterns in a file.
To use regular expressions in QA Checker, create the expression and then add it to the list from settings. All regular expressions in the list are applied to the translation file.
Trados Studio uses the .NET syntax for regular expressions.
This tool is for users who know how to create and use regular expressions. However, a list of example regular expressions is provided and non-expert users can simply add these.
These settings appear in multiple dialogs in Trados Studio. See Dialogs for verification settings for more information about the appropriate dialog.
