I am translating some legislative text, and there are a lot of paragraphs. subparagraphs, and articles with different number and letters. For example
Article 1. paragraph 3. subparagraph (s)
Article 5. paragraph 4. subparagraph (a) etc.

Is there any way to make translation unit that would translate word "article" and just copy corresponding number?
Or any other solution

I can make TU for each number and letter, but its huge and boring job.

thanks! ▲ Collapse

I found Wordfast Classic most helpful when translating text with numbers.

You did not mention which tool you use WF Classic or Pro.

As for WF Pro, when the only difference between two sentences is in numbers; in this case, you can check the option "Use Replaceables for higher TM matches" (Edit > Preferences > Translation Memory). This will automatically replace the numbers in such fuzzy matches instead of offering them with incorrect numbers from old translated sentences stored in the TM.

Kind regards,
Yasmin

Oh, I am sorry, but I use Wordfast Anywere. I thought that's the best way to start a translation. I presume that I have to pay to get what I want
