When translating GDPR-related documents, you'll constantly see these referrals to the relevant legislation.

The nice thing about regular expressions is that you don't have to use them if you don't want to. CafeTran Espresso 2018 is perfectly useable without any regular expressions.

But why would you? If you're driving a nice car, you probably want to test it on the German Autobahn. Within the speed limit, of course.

When translating GDPR-related documents, you'll constantly see these referrals to the relevant legislation.

The nice thing about regular expressions is that you don't have to use them if you don't want to. CafeTran Espresso 2018 is perfectly useable without any regular expressions.

But why would you? If you're driving a nice car, you probably want to test it on the German Autobahn. Within the speed limit, of course.

Regular expressions can make your daily work as a translator easier, avoid repetitive and boring tasks and help you to avoid errors.

Here is an example of a regular expression, used in a glossary, to translate a sequence that constantly returns (the numbers and letters are variable).

An example of the sequence:

1a

And the corresponding (and recognised!) glossary entry:

2

Note:

  • You'll have to remove the full stops in the auto-assembled target (though you can use a keyboard shortcut for that too).
  • You don't have to write the space as backslash+s.
  • You'll have to omit the full stops in the source term (don't exclude them with a backslash, this doesn't work).

Nice tip, thanks Jun 29, 2018

This might be useful with certain chemical formulas too, I think.
