How can the accuracy of number formats and currency symbols be ensured when translating financial statements?
“Different countries use various number formats (such as 1,000.00 versus 1.000,00), and currency symbols are easily mistranslated during translation (e.g., $ becomes ¥), which can have catastrophic consequences for financial statements.”
Root Cause Analysis
Intelligent Freezing of Numbers and Symbols
The system is equipped with non-translatable element recognition capabilities, enabling intelligent locking of financial data, percentages, and currency symbols. Unless specifically requested, retain the original number format by default to prevent AI hallucinations from altering data.
Localized format conversion (optional)
For documents requiring extensive localization, the system supports converting number formats according to target language conventions (such as changing American decimal points to German commas), but always utilizes a strict rules engine rather than generative inference.
Final Solution Summary
Rigorous data protection mechanisms safeguard the commercial value of every financial statement.
