    Fear of upgrading the Studio to a newer version is quite common. This is mainly because of issues with licensing (deactivating and activating licenses) and moving resources. There is the Migration assistant, but it does not solve the problem for less...

    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.

    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 soooo useful! Just had to open, format, check, save and close 3 dozen files with between 50 and 100 words. What should have taken 5 minutes max took me almost half an hour.

    Hello, It would be nice to have a way to retain comments from the source file to the target file without the need to manually recreate the comments in the translation. In this case what I am looking for is a way to deal with source files that have...

    When you try to export a Studio TM to TMX, Trados, unlike other applications does not suggest a name or even gives the same name of the TM, and instead you have to type that yourself! Time is money, and this should be a very simply thing to do like...

    Hallo! Saving filter is a great option specially when you combine a few filter. But it's a pain always to import those again in Trados. In daily business i use @@ for terms that i have to lookup later or have to contact the customer for questions...

    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...

    Currently there is only the category "New/MT" which shows either segments that have been MT translated or segments that are still empty, depending on whether the project was configured to use machine translation or not. As it is, there's no way to tell...

    It is good practice to regularly export your TM's as a tmx so they are safe from problems associated with database corruption. It would be a very nice feature in Studio if you could set a warning that reminds you every week (configurable) that you need...
