How do I handle this:
I have set up a Trados project from Swedish to English. The text contains a lot of computer terminology, so there are quite a few English words in the Swedish source text.

However, when the Swedish source text says "1.4 a_alternativeID" Trados skips "1.", translates it as "4 a_alternativeID" and marks it as a 100% match. Is it possible to get Trados to do either of the following:
- NOT mark the translation as a 100% match, but rather some oher percentage;
or
- include the "1." and write it as ""1.4 a_alternativeID".
Thanks!

One possible reason for this is that there is a segmentation character, for example a colon or tab character between the 1 and the 4 in 1.4 a_alternativeID. That would have this effect.

See TWB File / Setup / Segmentation rules
