One particularly irritating issue is that Trados changes the subtraction symbol (–) to a short dash (-), which I don't always catch during translation. Can someone point me in the correct direction? ...

It's the most irritating "feature" in Trados products. It still exists in Studio 2014 (since at least Tageditor 2006) and I have no clue how to fix it besides locking segments with "minus" or "to" symbols. So I'd appreciate any tips also. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » How to localize numbers, currency, mathematical operators, etc. Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
