  • Rework of the Alignment Tool

    • Idea Delivered on
    • 8 Comments
    The alignment tool in Studio is simply useless from the very first version until today. Switching from SDLX with its intuitive and simple alignment tool to Studio was a pain. And a Retroit batch task added in Studio 2015 is also useless now due to some...
  • Make project focus match the active document

    • Under Community Review on

    The active project should match the active document, with project focus changing in the background without user intervention when a file belonging to a project other than the active project becomes active.
  • Alert when working with files created in a different version of Studio

    • Under Community Review on
    • 3 Comments
    Studio should display a warning when files/projects created in different version are opened. Usually, Studio projects and individual SDLXLIFF files are forward and backward compatible, but despite the best efforts, some issues may arise when working...
  • Additional feature for Studio setting for ‘SDL XLIFF’ (.sdlxliff) to have Regular Expression (Embedded content)

    • Not Considering on
    • 2 Comments
    The SDLXLIFF files which Passolo are just exporting, do not contain any placeholders/variable tags like ‘ {1} ’ or ' %d ' or embedded HTML/XML markup , all show as ‘ Plain Text ’ rather than placeholders where direct impact word counts and open as editable...
  • Inform users regularly about fixes/features actually BEING WORKED ON for next update

    • Under Community Review on
    • 4 Comments
    Reading the user's bugreports/requests in the forum, one can see almost always statements like " yes, this is in our backlog, but we did not get to that yet ". So it would be good to start informing users what is then actually being worked on for the...
  • Allow QA Checker > Inconsistencies to Check Against TMs

    • Under Community Review on
    • 2 Comments
    As far as I know, the current QA Checker > Iconsistencies function does *not* check against the registered TMs for the project. It would be great to have this feature especially for server-based TMs. While this feature is possible with the API, connecting...
  • Navigation improvement to Translation Memory Editor

    • Idea Delivered on
    • 8 Comments
    It would be a useful feature to be able to move directly to the end of the Translation Memory rather than only go one page at a time. You can get back to the first page, but you can't go the the end. It would also be useful to be able to go to a specific...
  • QA: Go directly to the inconsistent segment

    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    When in the QA Checker I receive the message that a segment was translated inconsistently compared to segment #x, it would be great if I could jump directly to that segment.
  • SDL Trados Studio 64-bit Release

    Trados probably is one of the slowest program running on my computer. It's ok for most translation/review and basic project management tasks. But a lot of tasks are very slow when working with big files / lots of files, whereas CPU / RAM usage is...
  • Make "Cancel" instantaneous

    • Under Community Review on

    It sometimes takes ages to cancel a running process in Studio while there seem to be no steps that must be undone. When analysing files for example, there seems to be no reason for Studio taking minutes to cancel the analysis task.
