For some reason that I can't work out, Wordfast Pro has started inserting commas into years. For example if the text contains the year "2022", Wordfast Pro changes it to "2,022" when I use the Copy Source command. I've tried changing the regional settings in my computer's control panel by doing the following: Control Settings > "Clock and Region" > "Region." > "Additional Settings", in the "Numbers" tab, change the "Digit grouping symbol" to a blank space (i.e., delete the comma), but that...

Yes, yes... yes, and I do revision, where the translators didn't bother to check that it should be "2022" and not "2 022". But I encountered this myself with TPT's online version of WFP7, too... copy source to target caused "2023" to become "2 023". | | | JohnWhi United Kingdom Local time: 00:24 French to English Not just years | May 24, 2023 |
I have also noticed this in references in technical/industrial documents. Source text: REF: 0455117008515 [OA] Copy source: REF: 455,117,008,515 [OA] Copy and paste seems the safest solution. | |
