  • Filtering function at Concordance Search window

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Hello, it would be nice to have a filtering function at Concordance Search window in Trados Studio. This would enable us filter TM matches based on user ID or date during translation and gain us time. We need to prioritize entries added after client...
  • Intelligent merging of text snippets - smarter segmentation engine

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    See https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/subtitling/33803/segmentation-in-subtitling-plugin-app for what initiated this idea. Basically, there are translation scenarios where sentences are broken down into snippets, that...
  • Instant Cancel Button

    • Under Community Review
    • 3 Comments
    Hi! I think the Cancel button in the Project Wizard is very frustrating. It should work instantly. Instead, it can take literally ten minutes. For me, Cancel is either "Oops, I forgot something", or "This is way too long, there must be something wrong...
  • XLIFF file type filter | Addition of option to enable/disable "Retain Studio target comments in the target file"

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    The XLIFF file type filter is by default retaining any translator comment in the generated target file which is not always desirable and resulted in a client complaint due an import failure when the translator's comments were retained in the delivered...
  • Enable setting deadlines at the individual file level

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    Clients often send packages with multiple files, each with a different deadline. Currently, we can only set deadlines at the project level. It would be very useful to be able to enter deadlines at the file level as well.
  • Font size for comments

    • In Progress
    • 33 Comments
    Some of us have trouble to see very small font sizes, like comments. There should be a way to make it bigger. Generally speaking, anything that could be done to make Trados visually comfortable would be nice. Please note I use Trados 2021 and I have...
  • Option to exclude locked segments from analyses and completion statuses

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 4 Comments
    As discussed for example on https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/90/p/7212/56926#56926 , it is not very helpful that Studio includes locked segments in analyses and completion status. It makes it very difficult to follow...

    I would like to propose a display filter for Studio in which source = target. In most cases, these have been created inadvertently and therefore it would be great if you could plainly see if there are any such segments in a file. Sometimes we receive...
  • One TM used for both language directions

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 1 Comment
    I don't know how difficult it is to implement, but since it has been possible in Deja Vu for many years, as well as in MemoQ, I think it would be good to finally make a TM usable in both language directions. This of course would apply to secondary TMs...
  • Improving drastically the speed of adding new entries in the TD

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 11 Comments
    Currently if the TermViewer window is not attached, adding a term takes up to 10-15 secondes for opening the window, refreshing the list twice and then displaying the term (when using the "fast shortcut Shift-Ctrl-2") - absolutely unbearable (on a iCore...
