Studio 2015: Checking for Trailing Spaces via QA? દોર પોસ્ટ કરનાર: Stefan Keller

Hi all,
I notice that in SDLXLIFF files that were exported from World Server (a file type I'm regularly working on) quite a lot of segments have trailing spaces. Obviously, these are required, because I found out by accident that removing them in the target leads to no space between sentences.
Is there a way in QA checker to automatically check if the target segment ends in a space when the source segment does, and throw an error if it does not? I can of course search m... See more Hi all,

Is there a way in QA checker to automatically check if the target segment ends in a space when the source segment does, and throw an error if it does not? I can of course search manually, but this is very time consuming.
So, what I'd need is to check for "[any punctuation][space][end of segment]". Is this possible?
Thanks and best regards,

Hi Stefan,
you can add a Regular Expression rule like this:
RegEx source: \s$
RegEx target: \s$
Condition: Report if source matches but not the target
Instead of \s you can also just type a space.
On a related note: In WorldServer, QA Checker profiles depend on the project type. In my particular case, most of the projects I deal with don't even have a project type assigned to them, so I always use the Apply Project Template plugin i... See more Hi Stefan,

Hi Stephan,
Thanks so much, works like a charm.
Am I interpreting this correctly? A "$" is the reg-ex character for "end of segment marker"?
Best regards,
Stefan

Glad to hear it.
Technically it's "end of text" since RegEx doesn't understand the concept of segments, but in the end it's all the same.

My fellow translators,
I had the same problem, but luckily, I wasn't the first one with it. I found your solution and it worked.
Thank you, guys. Vielen vielen Dank.

I have the same issue as Stefan and tried the RegEx rule in the QA checker and it doesn't work.
When I click on "Verify", Trados does not show those missing trailing spaces and when I open the RegEx rule again, what I typed simply disapeared...
I came quite far in my big translation job and can't add those trailing spaces manually, so I'm quite running out of ideas now.
