The Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Auto-substitution settings determine if auto-substitution is enabled for numbers, dates, time, measurements and variables (placeables).
Auto-substitution of placeables occurs when the matching source segment in the translation memory contains a placeable that is different to that in the source segment in the document. When the translation memory is applied, SDL Trados Studio automatically substitutes the placeable from the source segment in the document to the translation in the target segment.

Dates, numbers, times and measurements are also adapted to suit the format of the target language. This is called auto-localization. These settings are only available on the language pair level, since the date, time and measurement patterns are target language-specific. You can specify these patterns on the following pages:
These settings appear in multiple dialog boxes in SDL Trados Studio. Click here for more information about finding the appropriate dialog box.
NOTE |
If the recognition settings in your selected translation memory are not enabled to recognize these items, auto-substitution does not occur and these items are treated as normal, translatable words. See Translation Memory Settings. |
