Idea Delivered Partially

The Trados philosophy is to try and not overload the product with features but rather offer an App Store so users can customize the product to their needs as best as possible by adding the extra features they might need. So we see Trados as a CAT _platform_ and not just a CAT tool. Against this background, apps such as TMConvert at https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/111 are recommended to augment Studio out of the box with such export capabilities. For MultiTerm there are also various apps such as the Glossary Converter that can perform similar tasks. Setting the idea to delivered partially.

Trados' translation memory and terminology databases should be able to be exported in Word and Excel formats.

Currently, the translation memory and terminology databases exported by Trados are in its own format and cannot be directly opened with Microsoft Word and Excel. Users need to use various third-party software to convert them into Microsoft Word and Excel formats, which can be somewhat cumbersome during the translation process. Could Trados add an option to export in Microsoft Word and Excel formats while maintaining the current format? This would allow translators to choose the format they need and improve translation efficiency.
