    In my company, we translate a lot of similar documents at the same time, meaning that mistakes can slip into other documents before they are corrected in the documents they originally occurred in. It is difficult to prevent this from happening; the “Always...

    Is it possible to add the length of the text (or selected text) of the original and translation in the status line in the editor? This can be useful if there are restrictions on the length of the translation.I already know that there are settings that...

    In Trados Studio Editor, users profit from AutoCorrect options (defined under File > Options > Editor > AutoCorrect). For example, straight apostrophes and straight quotes are automatically converted to language-specific ones. It would be very useful...

    I find the segment layout of the edit window a bit confusing. I understand that saving screen space is crucial in an app with such a complex interface, but I would find really useful a way to add some padding to the segment fields in order to customize...

    I regularly have to import TMX files to existing TMs. And I have them ready to drop them into the Import wizard but it doesn't let me because Drag and Drop is not enabled there. Very annoying indeed in this day and age. Actually, make all boxes where...

    When translating sometimes I need to change a term in a synonym. In MS-Word you get this with two clicks. In Trados/SDL I haven´t found a function like this.

    During the review stage, I like to have the Preview pane open, and taking up half of my Trados Studio UI. I then usually increase the font size of the preview a bit and start proofreading. Sometimes, it is necessary to click into a segment to make some...

    It's really tedious to have to change your primary termbase several times during translation when you have several various termbases added to your project. In my projects I often use 3 termbases for cuisine, general terms and travel terms, and I found...

    In the TermBase, an entry must first be selected and then a tiny button clicked. It would be nice if the term could be inserted directly into the translation by double-clicking. This is especially important now, when due to an error during the last update...
