Hi,
I've a document including several x% figures that I want to change into %x format all at once, rather than doing manually each time. I need to move all the numbers after the % symbol, i.e. 5%,> %5
Second, project also includes several figures with comma, i.e. 80,000 that I need to change into full stop, i.e. 80.000.
Thanks in advance,
Best,

Hi Zeki,
I am not a memoQ user but regex in find and replace should help.
Find: (\d{1,3}),(\d{3,})
Replace: $1.$2
This finds and replaces, e.g.
1,234 to 1.234
12,345 to 12.345
123,456 to 123.456
As for the percentage sign, I hope the following one works.
Find: (\d{1,2})%
Replace: %$1
This should find and replace, e.g.
1% to %1
99% to %99
For 99.9% or 99.99% you m... See more Hi Zeki,

TOPIC STARTER | How about auto translation rule? | Dec 26, 2016 |
Thank you Selçuk,
I am actually looking for a solution under auto-translation rules, which may be a bit more practical.
Do you have an idea how to do it?
Best,
Zeki

| corrected versions for Auto-Translation | Dec 26, 2016 |
Hi Zeki,
Create a new group for Turkish in Resource Console > Auto-translation rules.
Then add the following rules, first lines for auto translation rule and second line for replace rules.
(\d{1,2})%
%$1
(\d{1,2}).(\d{1,2})%
%$1,$2
(\d{1,3}),(\d{3,})
$1.$2
Finally, select this new group in Project > Settings > Autotranslation rules.

| Autopick should help as well | Dec 26, 2016 |
Translation Settings>Predictive Typing and Auto Pick > AutoPick
Number format
It helps for decimal symbol only, not for the percentage sign.

| Online help file is good | Dec 27, 2016 |
I am glad to hear that it worked. I don't use memoQ so I cannot test them. All credits should go to the writers of the help file.
