WorldServer - which configurations control the Auto-translation?

We would like to know the scenarios when a segment will go through autotranslation and what will be the translation status for the auto-translated segments.

If you work with File Type filters and use the Studio scoping mode (which are the recommended settings), these settings are set to true per default in tm.properties:
 

### Studio Enabled/Disabled Recognizers

# Enables/disables recognition for date placeables.
#studio_enable_recognize_dates=true

# Enables/disables recognition for time placeables.
#studio_enable_recognize_times=true

# Enables/disables recognition for number placeables.
#studio_enable_recognize_numbers=true

# Enables/disables recognition for measurement placeables.
#studio_enable_recognize_measurements=true


### Studio Enabled/Disabled Auto-Substitution Options

# Enables/disables auto-substitution for date placeables.
#studio_enable_auto_substitution_for_dates=true

# Enables/disables auto-substitution for time placeables.
#studio_enable_auto_substitution_for_times=true

# Enables/disables auto-substitution for number placeables.
#studio_enable_auto_substitution_for_numbers=true

# Enables/disables auto-substitution for measurement placeables.
#studio_enable_auto_substitution_for_measurements=true

If you use the Idiom Legacy filters and WorldServer 9.x scoping mode, in tm.properties, this property controls the auto-translation and is set to true per default:

#enable_auto_translate=true

Auto-translated segments will have no status:



To disable the auto-substitution, you need to set both the recognize and the auto-substitution property to false. For instance, if you want to disable it for numbers, set these properties to false and restart WorldServer:

studio_enable_recognize_numbers=false
studio_enable_auto_substitution_for_numbers=false

However, in WorldServer, even if set to true, the auto-substitution/auto-translation setting for Date is not applied to target segments during segmentation (Browser Workbench or Online Editor). If enabled, it is applied to the exported WSXZ packages and applied upon opening the WSXZ packages in Trados Studio.
