Hi folks,

I am using OmegaT 4.3.2 and I wanted to know what option should I change to stop it from changing the numbers.

For example:

I have 20 euros. --> Tengo 20 euros.

And then I try this:

I have 50 euros---> Tengo 20 euros.

What I really want is to get 50 instead of 20, What option should I activate?

Thanks!

It seems like it is picking up a TM match from your earlier sentence (not a 100% match, because the numbers are different). It should display in your "fuzzy matches" pane, but with the number highlighted in color, to warn you that they do not match. You have to fix them in the editing pane, since the computer does not "know" what you want, only what you have done previously.

Others may know of a more elegant solution.
