  • Use of Windows convention keys

    • 1 Comment
    It would be useful if SDL used the Windows conventions for keys. The Escape key should work to exit any dialog or dropdown or otherwise. I repeatedly hit the Escape key to exit a dialog thinking there is something wrong with the key, only to realise...
  • Add /translationUnit argument to command-line argument /openFileTm to allow better integration with Xbench

    If a second argument called /translationUnit was added to the /openFileTm, it would be possible to open a Studio TM at a given translation unit. This would allow third-party QA tools to open a memory at a offending segment. For example, the segment...

    Hi, could you please make a slight change to German translation (maybe for all other languages too if needed). Right now, when you delete some source files to a project and need to delete them translation literally says: Die Datei(en) werden dauerhaft...
  • Automatically change file view to target after "Prepare (without project TM)"

    • 3 Comments
    I use "Prepare without project TM" for every single job I do. I then have to manually change the File view from German to English (in my case) before I can open the file for editing. I can't think of any circumstances where I wouldn't want to go straight...

    Sometimes it happens that there is a segment broken between two files at the semi colon, such as Part 1: Getting started with Studio The client won't allow me to edit the source (to merge segments), so I want to check that I have correctly capitalized...

    As originally reported in https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/90/t/14508 For server-based TMs, the "Delete Translation Memory" context menu item is right underneath the "Remove From List" item, which makes way too easy...

    Hello, It would be great to be able to add abbreviated terms to the Abbreviation List by directly choosing the term, right clicking on it and adding it directly into the Abbreviation List as we are in the editor, just as we do when we add new terms...

    • 0 Comments
    When working while travelling e.g. on a train, Studio takes ages to decide it cannot proceed with a 'Confirm...' command if one is working with an online server and the train enters an area where internet reception is bad. It would be wonderful to have...

    I often have a lot of projects in Trados Studio. It would be nice to have the ability to organize them in folders and subfolders, like Windows Explorer, for example "Projects from SDL" -> "Projects for <End Client>".

    • 5 Comments
    In MS Office, Memsource and MemoQ until version 2015, Shift+F3 is a shortcut to toggle case. Unless I select some text, the toggle function will work on the word in which the cursor is, which is convenient in the majority of cases where I just need to...
