Translation Rules for Deleting Strings

To create a translation rule that deletes a string:

1. Enter a descriptive name for this translation in the ID field.
2. If you are deleting a specific string, enter it in the delete string field.
3. If you are deleting a portion of the address string, enter the index number in the delete index field. For this type of deletion, remember to enter the number of characters you are deleting in the form of at-signs @ in the delete string field.

   The first matched string will be deleted, any remaining strings that match will remain. For example, if the address is 187521865 and the string to delete is “18,” only the first instance of 18 will be deleted. The second instance will remain after translation.
