Termbase lookup : only display a source term when I click on it

Dear Trados Studio developers,

Regarding term recognition in the editor, there used to be a great feature in the Workbench (yes, that was a long time ago!): you could simply click on the red line above a term and the termbase recognition panel would instantly show that term (only that term, not all terms). This was one of the best features of the Workbench, and then... it disappeared.

The current approach, which is to display ALL terms in a segment, is very time-consuming when you have a very large termbase [50000+ terms]: it usually takes several seconds to display, which is really disproportionate, and what's more, the term recognition panel starts from the 1st term in the source segment, followed by many, many terms (can be 30) where you have to find the term you are looking for (by the way, the hotkey for "term search" doesn't help, as there is a bug in this feature).

I just hope that someone will read my prose...

Thanks!
Olivier

  • I think it impolitic to savage a hard-pressed contributor's suggestion, since the plea stems from his need.

    Regarding TagEditor, I have kept my Trados 2007 software active precisely because of the virtues of TagEditor: it cuts its way through parts lists like a hot knife through butter, and handles footnotes as to the manner born. I have a dummy TM in Workbench format for these uses, without prejudice to my cherished 2022 Studio.

    Sorry to bung all this stuff at you, Dear Colleagues, but it endorses a heartfelt wish.

    I would venture to add that it is high time to launch a beta 64-bit Studio version for us to cut our teeth on.

    With kind regards to you all, including the development team, and Alison Slight smile!
