Hi,
I have a recurring problem with propagations in Studio (currently 2019):
- when localising a unit, such as 10mm for instance, I want to have 10mm, however the autopropagated segments keep removing the non-breaking space, which is annoying for tech spec files where there are hundreds of these things.

What is the best solution to make sure these are autopropagated correctly?

Project settings Oct 7, 2021

Dear Jean-Christophe,

Have you tried Project Settings -> Language Pairs -> (invidual language pair) -> Translation Memory and Automated Translation -> Auto-substitution -> Measurements -> Always insert a non-breaking space between number and unit?

HTH,
Erik

Localised units Oct 7, 2021

I use a customised regex to correct incorrectly localised units.

Some files/projects do not have any autosubstitution under the TM section Oct 12, 2021

Some files/projects do not have any autosubstitution under the TM section, yet they autopropagate automatically and remove the (hard )spaces.
How can I set Studio to propagate the measures correctly in this case?

The Autosubstitution option is only available for a specific language pair. Make sure you select such a specific language pair when looking for the Autosubstitution option. Probably you select All language pairs instead.

I have checked under both entries, but I tkink this is due to the project being prepared on a server/different system... Yet, Studio does remove the spaces.

Make sure Oct 12, 2021

you click the 'Translation Memories and Automated Translation' under the specific language pair but not just the specific language pair.
