1. Prepare a two-column export of the segmented translation: source on the left and target on the right. (This can be done easily even from the tmx export of the relevant part of your TM.)
2. Put the two-column table into Word, and delete everything but the numbers. For example, highlight every number and also the decimal and thousand separators (if applicable). For example, if a thousand separator comma and a decimal point are used, start with the combinations ^#.^# and ^#.^# and then add ^# This will highlight all numbers - and numbers alone. Then delete everything that is not highlighted, using Word's find and replace functions.
3. If the decimal and thousand separators between the two languages are different, (e.g., SL uses decimal point and thousand separator comma, while the target uses deciomal comma and space for thousand separator), make the necessary modifications so that the two columns use the same.
4. Copy the two columns into Excel, and use the "IDENTICAL" function to find the differences.
