Idea Delivered Partially

Setting to Idea Delivered Partially as the extensibility is now there, but the extension itself would still need to be developed. This can now be done in the development community or in Trados dev.

Pixel/font-based length check for the Online Editor

In order to display/preview software files formats/translations (of embedded products) correctly and minimize rework time for testers/translators to fix length issues in a time-consuming loop/process, we would need a way to check/preview the length of the translation using pixel/font-based checks. Length violations should be flagged in real time in the Online Editor and/or the QM check (e.g. when changing the segment status).
Currently, this is supported in a competitor's product that we apply using a specialized *.xml (*.dtxml) format. Characters and fonts are treated differently based on the size available while editing.
Using a desktop tool for this purpose is not possible (e.g. Passolo). I would ask you to implement the feature too such that we can ensure comparable functionality.
Thank you!
Best regards,
