How do we handle languages that do not use punctuation to mark end of sentence

0 votes

We have several languages in our area that do not normally use punctuation to mark end of sentence. They mark end of sentence with a space. How do we instruct Paratext to not expect punctuation at end of paragraph. Right now when we run the punctuation check in basic checks, we are getting a lot of “Punctuation missing at end of Paragraph”.
Thanks

Go to Checking > Markers Missing Final Sentence Punctuation... and mark every marker as “Valid”.

Thank you. To make sure I understand. By marking this valid, we are saying that it is okay for this marker type to not end with punctuation.

That is correct MSEAIT/LT.
