Double quotes in Alignment Jan 4, 2022

Hello all - I have a similar topic.

I am testing the new SDL 2021 and trying to make an alignment of a PL and RO one line file. Both files contain double quotes ( "" ) and I receive this message:

Warning> File does not comply with your specified settings
Error > Double quote character within unescaped field on line 1 field 1

And the alignment does not work. Of course it works if I remove the double quotes, but it is not an option for bigger files.

And the alignment does not work. Of course it works if I remove the double quotes, but it is not an option for bigger files.

The problem is only with alignment. If I open the source file in Editor and paste into target from the old target file (with double quotes) it works perfectly, but i would prefer to align the files.

Can anybody give me a hint? Is this from computer settings, regional settings, encoding settings, SDL settings or some other thing?

Thanks in advance! ▲ Collapse

Double quotes Jan 5, 2022

What format does your source file have? Depending on the format, it may be possible to clean up the source file (such as with a general regex).

Txt files Jan 7, 2022

Hi Anthony,
At the moment I am testing with *.TXT files (source and target) 1 to 5 lines/ TU with no more than 4 quotations. Always error, but of course it works when Align is telling what row I have the double quotation. Then I remove it from the row and try again, and it works. Or hand by hand - for 5 TU it is OK - but I have a lot of pairs of *.txt unaligned

Maybe I should try with DOC, DOCX, excel and other?... See more

Maybe I should try with DOC, DOCX, excel and other? OR the properties of the *.txt files are not OK (Unicode, 8- something)

I have no idea what is a regex? I will check, of course.

Could be this linked to the Regional Settings of the computer?

Thanks Anthony, I will follow your idea and inform if I have any results

Anthony - you were right. When I copied the *.TXT files into *DOCX , the alignment went just like that.

Thanks for the support!

Addendum: There are several editors that provide full regex support. LibreOffice Writer also provides extensive regex support, also for MS Word documents.
