    Hello, We are working on RTL languages and need to map fonts to Times New Roman for all text into Arabic and Hebrew. It turns out that Studio doesn't map fonts for text which is not translatable (e.g. automatic numbers, footer page numbers or empty...

  • Reference content for the translator inside XML CDATA nodes

    Add a way to show some context information for the translators included in the XML files. This content has to be readable for them, but it has to be blocked (not edtiable) and has not to be into account for translation costs (number of words, etc.). The...

    It would be good to have a facility whereby you can narrow down a PowerPoint file, so that you only translate text in the NOTES section. This is not currently available.

    Dear development team, would it be possible to add a sorting feature to the parser? It would be helpful to be able to sort the rules according to their properties, rather then just using the "Search for" field. Sorting is available in the Reports...

    I don't know why, but some extremely conservative clients still ask me to use old-fashioned Trados (2007). Is it possible to provide a feature to save translation in this format? It is very funny that I have to use memoQ for this purpose: weirdly it can...

  • Enable processing of password-protected MS Office files

    • 3 Comments
    More of my clients are sending documents (mostly Word, Excel and PPT) that are password protected. Many other apps I use (e.g., Goodreader and VoiceDream) will prompt for passwords when I attempt to open files, but Trados, after several versions and upgrades...

  • Enable optional whitespace normalizing in IDML files

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    Changing the whitespacing in InDesign source documents leads to leverage loss. However, if the client is not willing to pay for the adjustment of the resulting high fuzzy matches, we confirm and lock them as they are, since the whitespacing is taken care...

  • Create mxliff file type (Memsource)

    Spiros Doikas
    • Planned For Future Release
    • 2 Comments
    Currently one has to rename the extension and import as xliff. However, that does not imply full compatibility. For example, locked Memsource segments are not displayed as locked in Studio. Also, apply " Do not store segmentation information in the...

  • Pressing only F3 makes a concordance of the whole segment

    Knut Atle Klausen

    Many times the segment is only a word or two or a slogan, saying or en expression and then it would be nice to just hit the F3 without marking the words.

  • Enable "Generate Target" option for Completed Projects without reverting to "In Progress"

    I can't see why Generate Target is disabled for Completed Projects. What's the idea behind that? Though I don't need to do this often I find it quite annoying having to revert the project to "in progress" before I can generate the target (and once done...
