How to prevent the numbers in segments, which contain the name and number, from being placed from TM?

Dear users,


I wonder if there is a way that, if there is a segment in TM containing a name and number (e.g. Steel screw 2555485), when the same name appears in subsequent translations, but with a different number (e.g. Steel screw 15938), the translation memory does not substitute the number, but only the name, so that the number is copied from the source column?

I wonder if Trados may not take the numbers into account at all, so that the differences do not reduce the accuracy when substituting from memory:

Another example is when Trados substitutes the name with TM because the numbers match, but the name is wrong.

E.g. 

Screenshot of Trados Studio interface showing a segment with a steel screw name and number being translated, with focus on the translation memory pane.


I'm working on projects that contain a lot of such names that differ only in numbers, maybe there is a way to do that?


Thank you in advance,
Natalia Rega
