Specify Auto-Substitution settings

You can specify auto-substitution settings for dates, numbers, variables, alphanumeric strings, times, measurements and acronyms.

Procedure

  1. 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.
  2. Select Auto-substitution from navigation and select the checkbox next to each item you want to use in auto-substitution: dates, numbers, variables, alphanumeric strings, times, measurements and acronyms.
  3. Specify how dates, times and measurements are auto-localized when they are substituted:
    • Select Dates and Times from the navigation tree. Specify the formats to use when auto-substituting dates and times in target language segments.
    • Select Measurements from the navigation tree. Select what spacing you want to use between the number and unit in a measurement when auto-substituting measurements in target language segments.
  4. If you want a penalty to be applied during auto-substitution, select Penalties from navigation:
    • If you want a penalty to be applied to auto-substituted dates, times and measurement, specify a value in the Auto-localization penalty box.
    • If you want a penalty to be applied to auto-substituted variables, acronyms and alphanumeric strings, specify a value in the Text replacement penalty box.
  5. Select OK to close the Options, Project Settings or Project Template Settings dialogs.
