When using "Check that source and target end with the same punctuation" there are some TUs flagged which I do not want to be flagged.
In Greek, the character for the question mark is ";". Is there a way to finetune that check so that it expects the ";" symbol at the end of a target sentence when the source sentence contains "?"

Probably easier...

... to just create a custom rule. Should be fairly straightforward to look for sentences ending in source with ? and check for a ;.
Then turn off the standard check.

But shouldn't this end punctuation check be language aware (or adaptable)? It is an element of localization like the decimal separator so perhaps this functionality should be modified to take this into account. For example, in Spanish they would need two characters, the inverted and the normal question mark for each instance of the English question mark.
Also, what I want to check is having an ? in source and not having an ; in target.

I tried with something like this:
Source: \?$ Target: [^;]$ Report if both target and source Regex patterns match
And it works just fine with end punctuation. However, in some cases there are tags after the punctuation and I could not figure out a way to check for a source that contains ? and a target that does not contain (anywhere) ;.
