Hi all, I have been wondering if someone has already tried to bulk replace decimal points by decimal commas. I have large files that contain around 1000 words in decimal numbers and I have to open every segment and change each decimal point to a decimal comma. I have tried using the bulk find and replace feature with regular expressions, I have found find all of the occurrences, but I don't know how to replace them... it won't let me... any idea? Have someone else tried the same? Is there a way?... See more

Advanced find and replace in MS Office Dec 6, 2018

If your source file is Word, it is quite easy to use the Advanced Find and Replace to insert full stops prior or after translation. Other files do similarly.

I wonder if you do not open all segments, how will you translate in a CAT software.

Some precisions Dec 6, 2018

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the source files and I won't be working with final target files either.

I know that in Trados Studio, for example, you can bulk insert source text into target segments, is there a similar feature in TW? That would help a bit, but I have not found it yet...
