    Fear of upgrading the Studio to a newer version is quite common. This is mainly because of issues with licensing (deactivating and activating licenses) and moving resources. There is the Migration assistant, but it does not solve the problem for less...

    I'm a translator from Myanmar. We can use Burmese in Trados but it doesn't support Karen (an ethnic language in Myanmar). It'll be a great help to Karen translators if we can add this language.

    Please make Preview Pane wrap the text after zooming in, to save translators from having to scroll laterally, which is a waste of time.

    When you create a new project with translated SDLXLIFF files, you can choose to physically merge the added SDLXLIFF files during project creation wizard. This is being done so that In-Country-Reviewers on the client side can review a few bilingual DOCX...

    It is good practice to regularly export your TM's as a tmx so they are safe from problems associated with database corruption. It would be a very nice feature in Studio if you could set a warning that reminds you every week (configurable) that you need...

    when I export the sdlxliff for bilingual check tags are given numbers, but these numbers do not show the revisor which kind of tag is used. So the revisor cannot check whether e.g. the tag "bold" is placed correctly. I would prefer to see the tag as it...

    Hello! It would be great if the spell check of upper case words can be turned on by default in Studio (untick “Ignore ALL CAPS”). Now the option is ticked by default. We have had client complaints for spelling mistakes in headings, which are whole...

    Hi! I have received feedback that customers (e.g. pharmaceutical companies) struggle with multilingual documents and need copy/paste efforts which are tedious/error-prone. The file types range from MS Office to InDesign. The idea would be to...

    In the reports it would be very useful if Trados could display the total number of characters including spaces in the source language. Indeed, all our translation offers are based on lines that include spaces. This new feature would be particularly appreciated...
