    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...

    The alignment tool tacitly uses the file type settings of the currently active project, which is just confusing. It would be helpful to have a selector for these settings, so that the user can choose either default settings (as in "File->Options"), settings...
