| Can't figure it out, help! | Oct 18, 2012 |
The link that Yosmin posted has to deal more with autosuggestions as you type. Great function.
I was wondering more about the situation when you have, for example, a table where everything is numbers. So as you go from row to row, it's numbers and nothing but numbers.
With Replaceables enabled, Wordfast 3 doesn't seem to replace numbers in the correct converted format changing dots to commas and vice versa.

Dear Pavel,
In the meanwhile, I suggest that you avoid translating numbers in WFP and just leave them as they are. In the target MS Word file, small 2 Find-Replace formulas (Ctrl+H) should help you replace dots with commas and vice versa.
Assuming that what you have is 888.888.888,44 and you want it to be 888,888,888.44
First step:
Find what: ,([0-9][0-9][!0-9])
Replace with: .\1
Use Wildcards (checked)
Second step:
Find what: ([0-9]).([0-9]{3}[!0-9])
Replace with: \1,\2
Use Wildcards (checked)

Hi Yasmin, I appreciate your help, it's just that I need to deliver in txml format, so I won't get to the MS Word format... I literally keep coming back to this thread for more than a year now. This is being discussed, promised, expected, looked for. I understand software development is a complex process and you're probably trying to make this work. You should know that this is an issue and something that needs to be resolved better sooner than later.
| | | | | We are now at 3.4.3 and Wordfast still is terrible und unfriendly with numbers | Apr 4, 2015 |
Dear Yasmin,
I just upgraded. Wordfast tells me "-2.998" is 99% for (2,671), although I have to write the whole number new except the minus sign and the 2. This is really unacceptable, as it gives a completely false picture of matches.
And Wordfast Pro also still do not convey commas in dots on numbers. I often do accounting stuff, and this terribly slows me down. Regrettably I do not have the choice of using a different, or no TM program.

The only thing that is really sterling about Wordfast Pro is the customer service.

| Looking for help in using Dragon NaturallySpeaking with Wordfast Pro 4 | Jun 13, 2016 |
Am considering buying Wordfast Pro 4 but have been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to speed up my translations and avoid RSI issues for about 10 years now, and I noticed when trying out the free trial version of Wordfast Pro 4 together with my DNS that some of the most useful commands are not available, for example the select/correct command, the select and cap or all caps command. Does anyone know of any workarounds or tweaks that would make both software tools more compatible with each other?<...

| Wordfast not transcribing numbers properly | Mar 21, 2019 |
Has anyone resolved this problem yet?
I have a large document with a lot of tables. The numbers in Wordfast Pro 3.4.14 usually do not transcribe properly. Often commas do not convert into decimal points, and the number is simply wrong.
This actually makes you go slower than if the numbers were simply skipped.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Still looking for a solution to this in 2022. Easy conversion of number formats, please. Or even not easy. Just possible without hacking away at each erroneous space, comma and full stop.

5. Start Wordfast Pro.
To find the config.ini file on a Mac, right click on the application, then Show Package Contents. Then go to app > configuration and open the config.ini file with a text editor.
On a PC, the config.ini file is located in C:\Program Files\Wordfast Pro\configuration
Once enabled, you will see the setting under General Preferences > Segment. If you tick the override button, you can customize the settings. Otherwise, there are default settings for each target language.
I am not sure when developers will fully release this. They are waiting for more feedback so if you notice a problem, please submit a feedback report. If you upgrade to a newer version, you need to redo this process to enable the beta feature again.
Best,
John ▲ Collapse

SORRY, I didn't see the "See more" drop down with all that information! Apologies.
However, I am told that I do not have permission to save the changed file. So, unfortunately, there is still no fix for me....

Assuming you are in Windows, you may need to do this: Right-click the icon of your text editor (such as NotePad) in Windows and click on Run as administrator. Then open the config.ini file in that text editor, edit it, and save. The system should allow you to save the file when your text editor is running in the admin mode.
