  • CTRL + J to merge segments without selecting seg. numbers

    • Idea Delivered Partially on
    • 5 Comments
    Hi there, Could CTRL J be added with some further automation to recognize seg. numbers when merging segments? At the moment, " Merge " operation can only be used by clicking the seg. numbers Could we make it "old school" and make that option available...

    It would make sense to add an additional shortcut to Studio to help working with comments: - view comment Also a right-click action on this.
  • Archive completed projects

    • Idea Delivered Partially on
    • 0 Comments
    As simple as that - old projects automatically compressed and stored (each) within a single archive during "Mark as Complete" process instead of leaving the full structure on a drive. Of course Reactivating project would run the reverse process. Possibly...
  • Editor/Export for Bilingual Review: Export only shown segments, not all

    • Under Community Review on
    • 2 Comments
    It would be great being able to export only the segments you choose. So exporting with an active filter or exporting only "marked" segments (see previos post in ideas), actually only the segments you see and not the hidden ones. And importing those segments...
  • SDL to invest in a Documentation team that actually documents new features

    • Under Community Review on
    • 2 Comments
    Sorry for the snarky title, but this is not the first time I complain about this and I wanted it to shock a little. SDL's documentation team is regularly behind the sofware to document new features, those features that we really need documentation for...
  • A currency symbol attached to a number should be ignored in QA check

    • 4 Comments
    If the source has a space between the currency symbol and the number and the target does not (as in English), Studio shows a "Number is missing" error. In financial documents with lots of currency figures, this is tremendously annoying. My workaround...

  • Change the way the 5 languages limitation works in the Freelance version

    • Under Community Review on
    • 1 Comment
    The limitation of 5 languages is one of the main differences between the Professional and Freelance version. However, the way it has worked for ages is that a user needs to select the 5 languages each time the product is installed. Also, each time a major...
  • Allow user to select file-based resources to be included in a package

    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    During package creation, rather than having only a checkbox to include Main TMs, AutoSuggest dictionaries and Termbases, it would be great to be able to select which of the resources in the project should be included in the package, so, for example, if...

    There is a great idea for Multiterm to finally add a slider for browsing through terms ( https://community.sdl.com/solutions/language/translationproductivity/translation-productivity-ideas/i/multiterm-ideas/slider-for-browsing-through-terms), but the...
