This topic describes how to enable auto-substitution for dates, numbers, variables, alphanumeric strings, times, measurements and acronyms.
To specify auto-substitution settings:
Choose where you want to specify the settings:
In the dialog box that you chose to open, select Language Pairs > [Source Language Name - Target Language Name] > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Auto-substitution from the navigation tree. The Auto-substitution settings are displayed in the right pane.
Select the check box next to each item you want to use in auto-substitution: dates, numbers, variables, alphanumeric strings, times, measurements and acronyms.
|
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. |
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.
If you want a penalty to be applied during auto-substitution, select Language Pairs > [Source Language Name - Target Language Name ] > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Penalties from the navigation tree.
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.
Click OK to close the Options, Project Settings or Project Template Settings dialog boxes.
