  • Make it possible to add short date formats that don't include the year

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    At the moment, it's not possible to make Trados recognize a date unless it's a full date including the year. In the documents I'm working on, it's common for dates to be shortened only to day and month if the year is otherwise clear. Trados cannot recognize...
  • Translate into two languages

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    It would be great to be able to translate into two languages simultaneously. I often have to translate long lists of products into two languages (here: NL > ES and CA), and then I have to do a painstaking review between the two files to ensure consistency...
  • Term recognition window shall display all relevant information about a term to the end user

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    As language service provider our in-house terminologists manage customer termbases and need to get the information in the termbase across to the end users, the translators. However by, default, Studio's term recognition only displays terms WITHOUT ANY...
  • Add terms on the go

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    What I want is having a shortcut to invoke the 'Add new term' dialog with empty source and target fields so that I can add a new term which is not yet typed in the active segment. My workaround so far is pressing Alt+F2 to type a term in the source...
  • Alignment - make it really aligned

    • Idea Delivered
    • 3 Comments
    I'm using the Alignment function in Studio regularly. The function works, for the most part, just fine - and it is quick as well. So far, so good. What I'm missing, and what can be quite frustrating at times, is the look of the Alignment window: the...
  • Show a warning, if the source file is bigger than 20 MB

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 4 Comments
    Files bigger than 20 MB will not be embedded in the sdlxliff and can cause "Dependence not found" errors even on your own computer. This error will mandatory appear, if such files are included in a project package, as the path to the source file is not...

    Currently, it is no possible to select all segments with one click. A checkbox at the top would be needed.
  • [API] Create FileBasedPackage class

    • In Progress
    • 1 Comment
    It would be super useful to have a FileBasedPackage class exposed in the API similar to FileBasedProject and FileBasedTranslationMemory so that we can retrieve info from the project package before running any action with it. This would be helpful, for...

    Let's assume we have some heavy pre-processing to do against a large number of files. It would make sense to allow Studio to run in a special mode, where files would be processed in the background, while user could continue to work in the editor. The...
  • Double-checking and fixing of wrongly added dependency file(s)

    • Under Review

    If a translator gets the message " Dependency file not found " and looks for the file to be inserted and accidentally inserts the wrong file, he could check immediately whether he added the correct dependency file by running "Generate target translations...
