Wordfast number format (decimals and commas) not changing from European to English Thread poster: Mary Barattucci

I use WF Pro 5.3 and it won't change decimal points and commas in numbers (i.e. 5.359,00 to 5,359.00 or 1,25% to 1.25%). I've looked everywhere in preferences and searched online but can't figure out how to do this automatically. This is a significant waste of time as for every number I have to backspace and change the comma or decimal point. But WF PRO 4 used to do this so why can't I get 5 to do it? What am I missing? | | | Did you find a solution to this problem? | Sep 23, 2018 |

In the search bar at the top of the screen under the menu bar, select "Target", then click on the box for Regex, enter "\d" in the "Enter text to filter segments" box and then for Filter choose "short segments" and click on the magnifying glass to search. From there you can do a find and replace for the commas to de... See more Hi Jamie, I didn't get a solution, but I did get a workaround.
