64-bit version of Studio

Please create a 64-bit version of Studio. At present only a 32-bit version is available, and therefore it can theoretically only access 2-3GB of system memory, meaning that upgrading your machine with more memory then this does not have any beneficial impact on Studio performance.

When handling large files & projects, allowing Studio access to all of your system's memory would make a huge difference in time and performance, and for this the app needs to be 64-bit.

Are there any plans to release a 64-bit version in future?

    i9 is good for InDesign and After Effects. It will serve well in years to come for sure. @Ferry

    You are right, its good for smaller files. or files with MS WORD etc. but xml and other complex files not good at all. I am tired of being stressed while trying to fix the issues.

    I almost purchased MemoQ before deciding for SDL. The review said, SDL community and service is very good. I was not aware about the issue of 32bit vs 64bits. Not in a position right now to invest into a new software.. may be I will request the client to use crowdin or smartcat or something

    It is an unfortunate truth that SDL doesn't really put that much effort into developing and improving the translator side of the product.

    Freelance versions don't bring in that much money and translators will be forced to use the CAT tool their client requires anyway.

    For years, I was an SDL certified Studio trainer, and could honestly say that Trados is the best solution.

    Unfortunately, that is increasingly not true, largely due to the lack of concern SDL shows in dealing with known problems.

    Outsourcing development to OpenExchange isn't really a solution to that in my view. :D

    That being said, it is still one of the best CAT tools out there, even if memoQ has several better and more intuitive solutions for everyday translation work.

    One of those, that could be useful for Amit, is 'views', which basically allow you to create a subset of the translation file based on any criteria you wish.

    You can then translate that smaller subset without opening the whole huge file.
