    I'm a translator from Myanmar. We can use Burmese in Trados but it doesn't support Karen (an ethnic language in Myanmar). It'll be a great help to Karen translators if we can add this language.

    MS Word documents can contain hyperlinks which were added over the text with enabled Track Changes. When opening such documents in Studio 2019 (and also 2017, for that matter), those hyperlinks are always extracted, even if the "Extract Hyperlinks" option...

    It's time to drop this ancient method of how Studio presently handles find&replace - a function every translator uses CONSTANTLY, especially when working with machine translations. Studio should not throw us to a random segment after finding and replacing...

    Please make Preview Pane wrap the text after zooming in, to save translators from having to scroll laterally, which is a waste of time.

    It would be great if Studio could handle non-breaking spaces as normal space characters when searching for text strings or filtering in the editor view. Example: – Text stored in TM/entered as target text in editor: "a<non-breaking space>text". ...

    A few (presumably) simple customisation options for the Projects view would make it much more useful for our agency. For example, it would be extremely helpful if there were more options under "Status" or if we could somehow add our own custom statuses...

    Right now there is way too big margin left on the left/right side in the Preview Pane, as shown in the following screenshot. Please enable the texts fit to width, as they displays in Memoq Thank you!

  • Using drag & drop to prioritize and de-prioritize parser rules

    • 0 Comments
    At the moment, parser rules in newly created file types can only be prioritized and de-prioritized by clicking the arrow up/down buttons on the right-hand side of the Options window. When editing file types with a lot of parser rules, sorting the...

    • 2 Comments
    "Ctrl D" is useful - deletes everything from cursor to the end of the segment. A function (with keyboard shortcut) that deletes to just before the last character (i.e. in most cases the full stop or other punctuation) would be a nifty addition. When I...
