Imagine that you have to translate a technical Word document that contains segments like:
CafeTran allows you to use regular expressions like \d+ for one or more digits and [„“]* for zero or more quote characters at the source side of your glossary.
There are 2 different ways of activating recognition of regular expressions in your Glossary.
The first is to start the glossary entry with a pipe character (|).
The second way is to set up a special Glossary just for regular expressions by setting the ‘Regular expressions only’ flag for the Glossary in question. This can either be done when creating the Glossary, or by selecting the relevant Glossary in the tabbed pane and then selecting: Glossary > Edit Glossary info, and checking ‘Regular expressions only’.
Note that at target side of the glossary entries you can use a zero.
CafeTran recognises the glossary entries and inserts the correct numbers at target side.
All instances of Not-Aus-Schalter have been auto-assembled correctly, regardless of the presence of quote characters, EN, EM or ‘normal’ dashes between ‘Not’ and ‘Aus’:
Another nice example:
- Add these regular expressions to your glossary:
