You are translating a file, and even though the correct date format (without the day of the week) is selected in the project settings, under Language Pairs > [your language pair] > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Auto-substitution > Dates and Times, you notice that the long date format with the day of the week is suggested by default in Studio.





 

You have two workarounds:

Workaround1:

Go to Project Settings > Language Pairs > [your language pair] > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Auto-substitution > Dates and Times and without making any changes, click OK.

This way, the date and time settings will be refreshed and the correct date format will be used afterwards.

Workaround2:

1. Go to the settings of your translation memory, under Language Resources > [your target language] > Dates
2. Make sure that the date format you want to use appears before the date format(s) with the day of the week (you can change the order using the little arrows on the left side of the window)
3. Click OK to confirm the settings

The issue has been logged for Development, to implement a fix in a future version of Trados Studio.
