... I incorrectly assumed from your language pair by your name in the forum it was the other way around. In this case the reason for the error is that the source is finding four numbers for 4.1 and 5.3 for example as it’s expecting 4,1 and 5,3 for the numbers. So it sees 4 and 1 and 5 and 3 as separate numbers, and then finds two numbers in the target. So reports an error.
You could turn off the number check in the Project Settings and then you won't get the error, although you then lose any benefit from checking recognised numbers. But in this case you could switch off the number check and use regex checks in QA instead.
Certainly the reported error won't do any harm.
