Unfortunately, these parts will not be found using the filter, so this is making our lives more difficult. Working with Madcap files, we sometimes need to check that the snippets have been correctly placed, so it would be great to be able to search inside the tag text for the MadCap:snippet text or something like that.

This template already contains xref elements with predefined values for the outputclass and otherprops attributes. We noticed that when adding an xref for the first time, it is possible to select an anchor in the target topic. However, when editing the same xref a second time, the option to select an anchor is no longer available. As a result, we currently need to delete the existing xrefs and create new ones again. This also means that all attribute values must be entered again manually. This process is error-prone and inefficient. In our opinion, it is also not logical that the anchor selection is only available the first time an xref is created. For more information, please refer to support ticket CS0044827. Since this functionality has never worked differently, the ticket was closed because it was considered neither a bug nor a regression of existing functionality.https://community.rws.com/ideas/trados-portfolio-ideas/i/trados-studio/toggle-between-saved-display-settings---if-you-use-multiple-monitors-e-g-anything-from-13-laptop-to-49-curve-monitorTue, 05 May 2026 06:51:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:c87d512f-8cb6-4dd1-bc9f-0a26f455e9b4Michael BaileyI move frequently between the office and home during the course of the day, as well as occasionally having to hot desk to a desk with a different sized monitor and on occasions also have to translate using my laptop without an extra screen.

Troubleshooting is extremely cumbersome in these cases as there is no clear way to determine why a setting is incorrect.

Minus signs on negative figures: For negative amounts preceded by an en dash and a euro symbol, e.g., “–€143m,” it would be helpful if the QA checker reported something like “Maybe replace the en dash before the euro symbol with a minus sign (character code 2212 in Word) in the target file.” 2. Single straight quote: Here is a “single straight quote”: ' // And here is a “double straight quote”: " // This is how they are entered in the Online Editor. You can correct double straight quotes relatively easily in the Online Editor using the button I have attached as a screenshot. But you have to fix single straight quotes using a shortcut, or by pasting them into Word, correcting them, and then pasting them back into Outlook.

Currently, inserting a term requires two steps: right-clicking a term and selecting “Insert term translation” from the right-click menu. This process feels unnecessarily cumbersome, especially since it is performed frequently during translation. It would be very helpful to have an option to insert a term with a single click . Frequently repeated actions should be simplified as much as possible.

There is no way to select several projects at once and generate all their Return Packages in a single operation. The Create Return Package wizard only works on the currently selected project. Given the right-click menu shown in image.png , the Create Return Package command is only available for a single selected project. It is not available when multiple projects are selected. Why This Is Important Time efficiency – Freelancers and LSPs regularly handle 10–20+ project packages per week. Creating return packages one by one is repetitive, tedious, and time-consuming. Workflow consistency – When all projects are finished, you should be able to select them all and generate return packages in one click, rather than manually processing each one. Batch tasks precedent – Trados Studio already supports batch operations in other contexts (e.g., Batch Tasks for multiple files). Extending this to Return Packages is a logical and consistent improvement. Common real‑world scenario – Many linguists receive multiple packages from the same client or project manager. Being able to return them all at once would significantly reduce administrative overhead. Proposed Solution Enable multi‑selection in the Projects view. When two or more projects that originated from Project Packages are selected, enable the Create Return Package command. Launch a Batch Create Return Package wizard that: Lists all selected projects. Allows the user to specify an output folder. Generates one .sdlrpx return package per project automatically. Optionally, include a progress indicator to show the status of each package creation. Additional Context This feature is specifically for projects created by opening Project Packages ( .sdlppx ). It does not apply to locally created projects that did not originate from a package, as those cannot produce return packages anyway.Projects viewworkflowproductivityProject Managerbatch processingreturn packageUI/UXpackageshttps://community.rws.com/ideas/trados-portfolio-ideas/i/trados-studio/persistent-custom-filters-folder-dropdown-loader-in-advanced-display-filterSun, 12 Apr 2026 04:22:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:0aa23c94-3ca3-43ee-b2d6-774985c3bd52Sameh ElsharkawyProblem Currently, in Trados Studio’s Advanced Display Filter, you can save custom filters and later import them. However, every time you need to load a saved filter, you must manually browse to the folder where you stored it, locate the file, and import it again. You have to remember where you saved each filter. The process is repetitive and breaks workflow, especially when switching between multiple custom filters (e.g., “Segments with Tags + Unlocked”, “Only Locked”, “Long Target”, etc.). There is no way to define a default filters folder or see a simple dropdown list of your saved filters inside the UI. Why this is important Speed – A translator might apply a custom filter dozens of times per project. Browsing every single time is a significant time sink. User experience – A dropdown is a standard UI pattern for quick access. It would align with other Studio panels (e.g., saved searches in Find/Replace). High-demand filters – Some advanced combinations, such as “Segments containing tags + Unlocked” , are very difficult to recreate manually each time. Being able to save such a filter and load it in one click is a highly requested feature. Organization – If the dropdown could also support categories/folders (e.g., “QA filters”, “Length filters”, “Tag filters”), that would be ideal for power users. Proposed solution Add a setting in Advanced Display Filter preferences: Default custom filters folder – user browses once to select a folder. Ideally Trados would remember the path of this folder every time and not have to make the user browser for it everytime Studio is opened. Add a dropdown list next to the “Load”/“Import” button (or replace the current file‑browse action with a dropdown). The dropdown automatically lists all *.sdladfsettings filter files found in that folder. Selecting an item from the dropdown loads the filter instantly. (Optional but ideal) Allow subfolders inside the main folder to appear as categories in the dropdown (e.g., via indentation or a nested menu). Example use case A user saves a filter called Tags + Unlocked - Medium Length.tdf in their default folder. Later, they open the Advanced Display Filter, click the dropdown, see that filter name, select it – and the filter is applied immediately. No browsing, no hunting.Dropdown menuworkflowadvanced display filterCustom filtersUI/UXhttps://community.rws.com/ideas/trados-portfolio-ideas/i/trados-studio/add-shortest-first-longest-first-sorting-options-for-target-segment-length-in-advanced-display-filter-and-the-regular-filtersSun, 12 Apr 2026 04:01:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:d12a0f79-80f1-46c6-885e-dc81de1eda4fSameh ElsharkawyProblem In the current Advanced Display Filter of Trados Studio, there is no way to sort segments based on the length of the target text. Users cannot quickly bring the shortest or longest target segments to the top of the editor view. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to review, edit, or validate segments that are either very concise (e.g., UI strings, short answers) or excessively long compared to the source. Why this is important Efficiency when editing short segments – Translators often want to process very short target segments first (e.g., single words or short phrases) to get them out of the way or to ensure they are correct before handling longer, more complex sentences. Quality assurance – Long target segments may indicate potential issues (e.g., missing line breaks, overly verbose translations, or incorrect tag placement). Sorting by length would help reviewers spot anomalies faster. Consistency checks – When working with termbases or style guides, seeing the shortest targets first can help identify inconsistent handling of short terms across the file. Cognitive flow – Some linguists prefer to start with “easy” short segments to build momentum; others prefer to tackle long segments first. Providing both options supports different working styles. Proposed solution Add two new sorting criteria to the Advanced Display Filter drop‑down menu (or as separate buttons in the filter bar): Shortest first (ascending target character/word count) Longest first (descending target character/word count) note This feature already exists in other translation environments such as Phrase (formerly Memsource). I mention this not to compare tools in a competitive way, but simply to highlight that the functionality is technically feasible and widely appreciated by many linguists. Adding it to Trados Studio would align with common user expectations and further improve the editor’s flexibility.sort shortestsort longestfilteringadvanced display filterhttps://community.rws.com/ideas/trados-portfolio-ideas/i/trados-studio/feature-request-clickable-urls-in-termbase-viewerFri, 10 Apr 2026 19:03:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:e66be75d-c2aa-46d0-947c-90498fa703c8Shosaku TakataniHello Development Team, I would like to request that URLs entered in the Termbase Viewer be recognized as clickable links .

Open package A → complete the import → close. Open package B → complete the import → close. Repeat for each package. This is time-consuming and disrupts workflow, especially when comparing package contents or batch-processing packages. Proposed Solution A new app / utility that enables batch package handling within Trados Studio: Core Features Multi-package selection Allow selecting multiple .sdlppx files from a folder via Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click . Drag-and-drop multiple packages onto the app’s interface. Queue manager List all selected packages with metadata: Package name Status (Pending, In Progress, Completed, Error) Buttons: Start All , Pause , Resume , Remove from queue . Sequential but unattended processing Open each package one after another automatically. For each package, apply a default action If a package requires a decision (e.g., overwrite conflict), the queue pauses and highlights that package. Session logging After all packages are processed, generate a log: Which packages succeeded/failed. Errors or skipped items. Time taken per package. Optional dry-run mode Preview what each package contains without actually importing – useful for checking before bulk processing. Why This Is Valuable for Reviewers / Users Time-saving – process 20 packages in one go instead of 20 manual sessions. Less error-prone – avoids accidentally reopening the wrong package. Better for QA – compare multiple package contents side-by-side in the queue view. Ideal for power users – LSPs, project managers, or in-house teams receiving multiple packages daily. Example User Workflow PM receives 15 .sdlppx files from a client. Opens the Multi-Package Workspace Manager app from the RWS AppStore. Drags all 15 files into the app window. Chooses default action Clicks Start All → goes for coffee. Returns to see a log: 14 succeeded, 1 failed due to missing language resource – easy to fix. Technical Notes (for RWS review) The app would interface with the existing Sdl.Core.Package APIs. Should respect Studio’s existing package security (password-protected packages prompt once at start of queue). Must not violate the “one package wizard at a time” constraint – instead, it automates closing one and opening the next. Built as a Studio view (not a separate .exe) to stay inside Studio’s environment.Project ManagementproductivityLSPTime Saverbatch processingPackage Manager
