    Dear SDL Community, In the QA Checker 3.0, you can check for unintentional spaces before specified characters: This can be considered a target-language-independent criterion. However, if we want to check a French translation, merely checking the...

    After Splitting a Segment, the Segment appears in Draft mode. It would be great if it appeared in mode Not translated. Or if I could at least define which Status I want after Splitting.

    It would be nice to have a shortcut to apply MT for a specific single segment.
  • More UI options for accessibility

    Maybe it makes sense to create an inverted UI, or perhaps just give some more contrasting themes? I’m quite surprised we don’t see more requests than we do considering the difficulties a UI without options can pose for people. This is for websites but...

    • Accepted, Not Yet Planned on
    • 4 Comments
    Marking text as "Hidden" in Microsoft Word prior to adding a file into a Trados Studio project used to be a convenient way to mark specific sections of the text as "not for translation" in a manner that was easy to revert later. Using the Word 2007-2013...

    • 1 Comment
    There is currently no way to modify the order in which custom fields are displayed in the TM view or in the Editor in Studio. Custom fields are supposed to be displayed in the opposite order of how they have been added (fields set up first, appear last...

    The verification messages list should also have a column showing the segment numbers. Not just for sorting purposes, but also to avoid wasting time. For example, if based on the segment number I can see that two subsequent segments have issues, then I...

    I use the Preview a lot and have it pulled out on a separate screen. Every time I use it I have to resize it by dragging each edge. Would be useful to have a maximise button at top right - like all other Windows windows
