Does the Terminology Verifier work with regular expressions (regex)

I am currently trying to find out if the Terminology Verifier in Trados Studio 2017 works with Regular Expressions or if it is a purely literal search. if anyone knows and could let me know, that would be very helpful as I am about to start setting up a fairly large list of terms and would like to know before I waste my time.

As info, I have so far been setting up my QA checker with things that I want to check no matter what, but I need to be able to change out some things based on what I work on, and as far as I can see the easier way is to have several terminology lists that I can change out, instead of making several QA settings that I change around.

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Hello Paul

    Thank you for your answer.

    I believe you answered my question, but I will throw this in as an extra verification:

    If I set up the terminology list (which I am loading in manually via the "Project Settings -> Language pairs -> Termbases" window) with regular expressions, am I correct in understanding that this will be used as a literal search instead of a regular expression, i.e.:

    Source: Checklist for computer cleaning

    Target: Sjekkliste(n)? for rengjøring av datamaskin

    Will look for a literal "Sjekkliste(n)?" instead of "Sjekkliste" with an optional "n" at the end of it, followed by the rest: " for rengjøring av datamaskin"?

    The reason I am wondering about this is because I have a lot of terms consisting of 2 or more words, where the ending of the 1st or 1st and 2nd change depending on form, amount, and so on.
