Hello everyone,
new MemoQ user here, bought the software recently and I'm trying to understand the auto-translation rule creation. Could someone help me to make a rule for converting dates into the right format? I don't quite understand how to form a string that would automatically understand all the different dates and convert them, nor am I all that sure where I need to put it. ^^; I've created translation pairs named #kuukaudet# for the month names, but that is as far as I got be...

I would greatly appreciate any help! ▲ Collapse

For "Auto-translation rules" type this:*
([0-9]+)(#month#)([0-9]{4})
For "Replace order rules" type this:
$2 $1, $3
For "Translation pairs" type this:
#month# in the left bottom field
.1. in "Source"
January in "Destination"
.2. in "Source"
February in "Destination"
..........
.12. in "Source"
December in "Destination"

*Every group in parentheses counts from 1 to infinity.
Group 1 is ([0-9]+), it means any number consisting of 1 or more digits. This includes 1, 23, 357, 8723, etc.
Group 2 is (#month#), it means any value from the list of months you created.
Group 3 is ([0-9]{4}) , it means any number consisting of 4 digits exactly.
When replacing the groups, you should use $1 to $infinity accordingly to identify those groups.

...it does not matter how you describe it. I put "month" there just mechanically.
Also, if you added numbers for months (without dots, like 1=January, 2=February, etc.), then you need to add dots in the rule, and the rule should be like this:
([0-9]+).(#month#).([0-9]{4})
$2 $1, $3
It will work the same way as the above regular expression. But I think this one is even better, so just discard my first suggestion (where .1.=January, .2.=February, etc.), even t... See more ...it does not matter how you describe it. I put "month" there just mechanically.

And don't forget to check the box against your auto-translation rule to make it work.
