    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.

    SDL Trados Studio should show the translator's stats on its homepage, once the user opens the software. Suggested stats are, but not limited to: - Number of translated words in <year>/<month> etc. - Number of translated words that week - Historical...

    This idea is directed to the developers of Trados software, who are probably not translators themselves. Make the option to choose the correct type of quotation marks (English, French, Dutch, German etc) available for all file types, without excluding...

    Hello, We currently need to deactivate the "Acronym" setting for 2000 or so SDLTMs and it seems there is no batch edit option for such an operation. It would be really useful to have a batch edit mode for TM settings in order to be able to optimize...
