    Sometime splitting or merging segments is not enough and the order of the segments needs to be changed to make the translation work. Otherwise you have to create weird workarounds, such us splitting the source to create an empty source segments etc. That...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Currently, it is no possible to select all segments with one click. A checkbox at the top would be needed.

    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...

    • 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...
