Hi, I'm not aware of any parameters that can be sent to change this behavior, so I think the best bet would be to parse the results of the translation to add back in the original numbers with formatting (since those don't need translation, but their position might shift). That would be a workaround for now, but this type of issue would apply to other content as well (like HTML tags in translated text). I'd be interested in coming up with some ways to make translating preserve segments of the original message. What do you think would be most useful?
