    Dear Trados Support Staff, I work with Trados Studio 2017. Is that possible for you to give an option for me to have a border line between segments? Please see the red line in the image below. The reason is that when translating I prefer to have...

    Hi I'd love to see an option to sort files in a project by date added. I usually keep adding files in projects, and it would save me a lot of time for finding correct file to work with if they are sorted by date added. thank you Christen

    Hi, We are very actively using the ability to display track changes from MS Word in the Studio Xliff files for certain pharma customers. We can then further track change that content in Xliff as we make changes during the review change after translation...

    Hi there, when having to delete project templates, we have to do so via setup/project templates, where we can select only one template and delete one by one. After each template you delete, the window jumps to the top, so you have to search for the...

    Some of us have quite a lot of custom segmentation rules beyond the default ones in Studio. Especially if you're translating software, you end up with rules for segmenting tags like \t, \n, <li> etc etc But you can't save/export/import them so whenever...

    It would be nice to see the type of segmentation hint shown next to the “Translate” column under [File Type]→“Embedded content” in the “Tag definition rules” box. Since there is always a value (Include, Include With Text, Exclude, May Exclude) for the...

    Studio does not distinguish properly between a hyphen and en-dash. The en-dash, which is longer than the hyphen, replaces "to" between two numbers in English. So if I have a list of number groups like 1–10, 11–20, 21–30, etc., when I translate and confirm...

  • "Do not translate" segment status

    Occasionally, we are asked to translate only certain sections of a text. One solution is to convert the text that is not to be translated to hidden text in the Word file (for example). However, I think it is usually safer to make as few changes in...

    Hi, We have seen a small increase in the number of requests for .key files. Especially with customers who are predominantly Mac based. Given that we have an OpenOffice set of filters, I am wondering if perhaps we can look at a .key filter as well...

    When reviewing high-match segments, it would be easy to review if the differences between translator's translation and translation memory translation are highlighted. Currently only the differences in the source sentence are highlighted.
