    Hi! I have received feedback that customers (e.g. pharmaceutical companies) struggle with multilingual documents and need copy/paste efforts which are tedious/error-prone. The file types range from MS Office to InDesign. The idea would be to...

    In the reports it would be very useful if Trados could display the total number of characters including spaces in the source language. Indeed, all our translation offers are based on lines that include spaces. This new feature would be particularly appreciated...

    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...

    • 2 Comments
    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...

  • Prepare files for translation step

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    Most of my files should be translated to 5 languages. It would be beneficial to have an optional "Prepare files" step where I could lock certain segments (usually because they should not be translated), or change the source text before creating projects...
