Hi all -- Working on Japanese -> English for medical/military docs, and times should be retained in 24:00 format but CafeTran is automatically converting to AM/PM.

Simple Q but how does one turn this (otherwise nice) feature off?

Many thanks!

Format numbers Apr 18

Did you try turning off "Format numbers"?

"format numbers" not on Apr 18

Thanks for the response, but unfortunately "format numbers" is not on... BTW what is "format numbers" supposed to do?

It's not the end of the world but the CafeTran auto-propagates these segments with 100% confidence despite the error, making it kind of hard to catch.

Use Apr 18

Use Task, Copy source without letters to target.

NICE Apr 19

That does the trick! I'd still like Igor to make that automatic conversion optional (Asian language/military translators may agree) but this works for now. Many thanks!!
