The problem goes like this:

In the source segment, a number and a weight measuremement are written:
e.g. "50g". In the target segment, they should be separated: "50 g"

I have not found solution in the knowledge base yet.
Did anybody of you all solve such a problem?

Thanks for your attention and help in advance. ▲ Collapse

There you can choose how Trados deals with spacing between numbers and units for auto-substitution. From your description you're either using 'Use the same spacing between the number and the unit that is used in the document source segment' or 'Never use a space between the number and unit' - choose which ever other option works best for you (use same as in TM, always use a space, always use a non-breaking space, always use a custom space). ▲ Collapse

Thanks, Arianne! Apr 10, 2017

Your advice has perfectly been helpful.

I changed settings as you said, and the spaces now remain between numbers and units.

Many thanks for your help!
