Ability to move the Right-hand side panel in Online Editor above translation area like you can in Trados Studio

It would be great to be able to move the Right-hand side panel in Online Editor above translation area like you can in Trados Studio.

This would be particular useful to expand the width of the translation area to full width of the screen while also having the panels available above the area.

  • Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your submission.

    Whilst I appreciate this isn't the fully dockable window layout flexibility we have in the Studio desktop, there is an option in the Online Editor to detach the side panel into a separate window - Detaching the side panel.

    For linguists that are working with dual monitors, this would allow them to have the side panel features accessible from a separate monitor, leaving the full width of the second screen for the main translation interface.

    Even with a single monitor, the detached side panel can be resized in such a way that it is displayed above a separate browser containing the main translation interface. This would enable a full width display for the translation interface, albeit with a reduction in the depth of the translations that are visible.

    Cheers,

    Ian
