Hello.  
I would like to ask for your help in the situation below.

\<Example 1\>  
Source: double  
Target: 2

\<Example 2\>  
Source: 22  
Target: Twenty-two

Although these are not an error, simillar texts keep coming up as an error.  
Since there are so many of them, I end up ovelooking the actual numeric errors.

Is there any way to avoid this?

Hi Maru,

These false alarms cannot be prevented via Numeric Mismatch QA check. However, you can check these type of errors using checklists.

Example 1:  
Source: “double” OR “two”  
Target: -“2”  
Powersearch: ON  
Search mode: simple  
Match Whole Word checkbox: enabled

Example 1:  
Source: “22”  
Target: -“twenty-two”  
Powersearch: ON  
Search mode: simple  
Match Whole Word checkbox: enabled

These searches will display any segment that contains the Arabic number but is missing the spelled out number.

For more information about checklists, I would recommend you to watch these two videos from the Xbench youtube channel:

1. [Using ApSIC Xbench 3.0 Checklists for QA (Part 1)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwWs1I0A1uY)
2. [Using ApSIC Xbench 3.0 Checklists for QA (Part 2)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CfYu_eDLks)

Regards,  
Oscar.

Thank you for your fast reply!  
I see…then I’ll try making a checklist for these errors.  
Thank you for the video.
