Hi, i'm kinda new to MemoQ auto-translation rules. Could any one help me to write an expression to convert a date string from format 'dd/mm/yyyy' to 'mmmm dd, yyyy'? e.g: 01/01/2014 => January 01, 2014. I tried the following: - Since the month would be a number, I created a translation pairs custom list #month# with source is number from 01-12 and target is January-December. - In the Auto-translation rules I created the following auto-translation rule...

Could any one help me to write an expression to convert a date string from format 'dd/mm/yyyy' to 'mmmm dd, yyyy'? e.g: 01/01/2014 => January 01, 2014. I tried the following: - Since the month would be a number, I created a translation pairs custom list #month# with source is number from 01-12 and target is January-December. - In the Auto-translation rules I created the following auto-translation rules: '(\d)/(#month#)/(\d)' and Replace order rules: '$2 $1, $3'. - The result: 01/01/2014 => 01nuary 01, 2014 | 01/02/2014 => 02bruary 01, 2014. I wonder why is there always two digit that replace the first 2 characters of the $2. If I put extra spaces in front it would show 01 January 01, 2014 | 02 February 01, 2014. I appreciate all your help. Thanks. ▲ Collapse | | | RegEx needs fixing | Aug 3, 2015 |
Hi, Try \d+ instead of \d in both instances. Edit: I now see that these rules behave one way in the preview and another way in the editor. Where are you experiencing this?

I only preview my regex. Since it did not turn out as I expected, I did not use it in editor mode. Now that you mentioned it, I will try and see what happened. I found the solution To convert from dd/mm/yyyy to mmm dd, yyyy the auto-translation rule should be (\d\d)/(#month#)/(\d\d\d\d) and the replace order rule should be $2 $1, $3.

[Edited at 2015-08-04 02:54 GMT] More notes: - There is a different between 1 and 01. So in the above example if you want to translate 1 or 01 into January, You have to create 2 different list items in the Translation pairs. i.e. 1 - January and 01 - January. The same for other months. - Different translation rules must be set to cover all possible of the date and time format as in my above example. + 05/01/1989 : (\d\d)/(#month#)/(\d\d\d\d) + 5/1/1989: (\d)/(#month#)/(\d\d\d\d) + 5/1/89: (\d)/(#month#)/(\d\d)

I'm glad you found a solution. If you want to use just one rule for all cases you mention and similar ones, this should work: (\d+)/(#month#)/(\d+) | |

I've just read through the documentation and kinda understand it now. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » MemoQ 2014 R2 auto-translation rules Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
