I am translating in SDLX a French piece, which has in the source segment 1er Septembre 2006. In that the -er is lifted, as often -rst or -nd are in English. For that reason the -er is highlighted pink in the source.

And the source segment is marked green - to indicate a formatting incongruity between source and target.

And I do not see a remedy to this.

Anyone an idea to spare?

Note that the segment will still be marked as "Format painting needed", ie. every time you save the file you will get a message saying that the segment still requires format painting, but you can just ignore this and save anyway.
