    When Passolo (2016 or 2018) updates a string list where a parser comment for an existing, validated string is added/modified, the string will keep its status "Validated". But an added/modified parser comment may give the translator information that they...

    When pre-translating strings it would be a great help to know how many times each suggested translation is used. This will give a quick hint as to which alternative translation would be the most relevant to choose. See screenshot below for suggested...

    SDL support provided a workaround consisting in adding a root element manually to a JSON source file starting with an array since the built-in JSON parser cannot currently handle such JSON files. The workaround is fine but maybe enhancing the JSON parser...

    Minor changes in strings cause the string to appear fully untranslated. Minor changes are for example changes in punctuation: "Hello. This is an example." --> "Hello ! This is an example." Since the string is changed and not deleted, i.e., not added...

    Every release of a new Passolo version, TMS will not accept bundles for a few months. I would be very valuable to allow immediate support of new Passolo bundles versions in TMS in a joint manner. At this time, because of this restriction, we cannot...

    We seem to perpetually have issues when working with Android files due to the variety of files that we see. This is one of the most common files we have seen in Passolo this year. Passolo does a good job of supporting one specific Android configuration...

    Passolo allows to unify the replicates and that helps a lot. But for some reasons, regarding the translation context, we need to differentiate the translation for a same word. It would help if the translator would be able to 'unlink' the child from...

    Why in Passolo 2016 I can't set up dark background for translation Windows? Do you know how eye-straining is, when I have to sit for 15 h and stare at so bright colors? In Passolo 2015 background was adapted to system colors - and because my color scheme...
