Google Translate API also translate input text with data (DD-MM-YYYY) into format target language

[Matteo Mason]

Hi all,

in my web site I add Google translate API. Everything works well, but I have a problem.

If in the text I want to translate a date in format (DD-MM-YYYY) is present, the API will translate also that date in the format of the target language.

Is there a solution for not to translate the date or numbers?

Thanks.

As seen directly in the REST API there are currently no options to selectively skip translations for sections of text. This issue instead looks to be a possible improvement that should be made on the Translation API´s model. 

You can train the model by providing your feedback directly in the translation website when a translation is incorrect. You can also open a Public Issue Tracker report with full examples showing the incorrect translations and what they should be, in order to notify the Translation team.
