> BigQuery's {{SUBSTR(value, position[, length])}} function currently gets translated to the standard {{SUBSTRING(value FROM position[ FOR length])}}. BigQuery expects the arguments to be comma-separated rather than the use of the {{FROM}} and {{FOR}} keywords. 
> EXAMPLE: {{SUBSTR('hello', 2)}} would get translated to {{SUBSTRING('hello' FROM 2)}} which BigQuery does not recognize.
> Hive addresses this issue by adding onto {{HiveSqlDialect#unparseCall}} method. I believe BigQuery should do something similar to avoid this incorrect translation. The docs for the {{SUBSTR}} (and alias {{SUBSTRING}}) function may be found [here|https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions#substr].
> I will open a PR shortly that implements my suggestion and adds a couple of tests as well.
