    Instead of the links to educational materials, which are only useful at the very beginning, the Welcome View could show the daily output from last 7 days, monthly output etc. Similar to running apps, with some simple achievements ("You have translated...
  • Support of different termbase servers in one project

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    Hi, Unfortunately, now it's impossible to add two (and more) server-based termbases from two (and more) different servers. When you try to do it, you get this message: "The termbase server has been changed so all the old server-based termbases will...
  • Merging or splitting segments mucks up word count

    • Idea Delivered

    Merging or splitting segments in the Editor mucks up the word count and percentages. This bug has persisted for YEARS. I know SDL personnel have dismissed it as low-priority, but it really is a highly visible and annoying error and undermines trust in...
  • Not frendly UI of language selecting in 2019

    • Under Review
    • 5 Comments
    Hi there, The studio version before 2019 of project Wizard is frendly and easy to use. But in 2019 the language you need to use is always need you to spell the whole language out not just the few first character of them. And after that, there is character...
  • Better currency and percentage symbols management, with support of unbreakable space

    • Idea Delivered
    • 30 Comments
    Hi, SDL Trados Studio is able to automatically change the currency number formats, just as in the screenshot below, that is converting $2,000 into 2°000$: Yet, at least in Canadian French, the right format should be 2°000°$, with an unbreakable...
  • Penalty for single word terms

    It would be nice to be able to assign a penalty to single word terms, as these are prone to be erroneously populated in pre-translation and auto-propagation. A penalty with configurable number of words would be even better.
  • Automatically add locale to the target file name (optional)

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 2 Comments
    Some users and customers prefer saving the target files with language code included in the name, f.e. "Sample_File_EN.docx" instead of "Sample_File". This definitely should not be a default behavior of Studio, but there should be an (advanced) option...
  • Deselect multiple languages at once during project creation in 2019

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    We work on projects with templates set for a large number of languages as default. These cannot be edited as they are linked to the client system and used by the client to create their own projects. We also cannot currently recreate them with fewer languages...
  • Make ‘Quick Add New Term’ completely skip showing and giving focus to Termbase Viewer?

    • Under Review
    • 9 Comments
    This is something that has been bothering me for a very long time, and so much so that I recently even stopped using Studio's built in termbases altogether, both the regular ones and the Language Cloud one. I am currently (quite happily) using the amazing...
  • Bypass having to press "Resume" after each added word in Spell Checker dialogue in Trados Studio!

    • Under Review
    • 2 Comments
    When running the spell checker in Trados Studio, after you click Add (to add a new word to the spell checking dictionary), before you can continue (i.e. after the word has been added), you have to press Resume every time, which is highly annoying. Could...
