Abu Bekr Al-Agib Saudi Arabia Local time: 19:52 Member (2022) English to Arabic + ...
Jan 26, 2023
I am translating an Arabic file into English. The file includes some numbered lists and when I export the file the list numbers come in Arabic. So, is there any "RULE" to automatically replace Arabic numbering by target language numbering. Hope I am clear.

Can you make a more specific request? Is it number-only segments? Give some examples please. Is it just 1/2/3/4/5/6 or 1./2./3./4./5./6. or 1.1/2.1/3.1/4.1/5.1.1/6.10.12? *If you want to replace numbers everywhere without any other conditions, you can simply run the 'Replace all' operation 10 times (0 to 9). Five seconds per each run, fifty seconds in total for all numbers, sooner than typing this comment.

Hello!
Does this come up only in the exported document, while in memoQ all the numbers look Western Arabic (as in the source)? What is the file format of the document you translate? Could this be due to font substitution? If so, you may check whether this setting is on in the memoQ project.

I think the TS means Eastern Arabic, not Western. Western Arabic numbers in English is not a problem. However we have to use a crystal ball or our telepathic skills. And the TS seems to have forgotten about their question.

Explanation on memoQ numbered lists
Jan 27, 2023
Hi friends, To make it clear, I have an Arabic file that includes numbered lists. While translating, the numbers of these lists do not show in the Editor View which is normal as memoQ handles them in the background. When I export the translated file I should get the lists numbers in target language (English in this instance) but unfortunately this is not the case; lists numbers come in original source language (Arabic in this case) which adds more tasks to me to covert numbers into target ...

Thank you for your clarification. You need to change your MS Word settings. In MS Word document, go to File > Options > Advanced > Show document content > Numerals > change to Context After you do that in MS Word, try to export your translation again.
