    Batch editing TMs can be risky, especially when a wrong filter is selected. An indicator counting all affected TUs before proceeding would help avoiding mistakes. There might have been such a feature already, back in Studio 2011.

    I believe that the AutoText feature in Studio is a useful one. Nevertheless, my experience has shown that many users do not use it. My suggestion is to make AutoText truly automatic so that everyone uses it straight away. Create a dialog box for AutoText...

  • Better handling of numbers (with (narrow) non-breaking spaces) for propagation and QA

    Hi, I always have the problem that Trados Studio does not correctly propagate numbers and units if you enter them with (in my case) a narrow non-breaking space. So I end up having to edit and confirm each segment manually where it could be done with...

    Being able to customise the order in which files in the same project are shown by simply dragging them up or down the list so that some or all the files can be opened at once in the correct order when working on multiple files at once. As it stands, to...

    I have pretty big base of terms and I always need the translators (who are not working with SDL and usually work with the word files generated from editor) to pay attention to them. It would've been really helpful is SDL Trados Studio had a feature of...

    Please add two actions "Disable item" & "Enable item" to the current "Action" list for QA Regular Expressions to allow us not to remove any one of them and enable the disabled one when needed.

  • Run the Spell Checker in SDL Studio on selected segments only

    Dear SDL Studio Developers, I hope you can allow such a feature in SDL Studio, instead of having to run the Spell-checker on the whole file, as it currently stands. That would indeed save a lot of time in so many scenarios. Stay safe. Sameh...

  • AutoCorrect to allow for “smart quotes” in Spanish (instead of «angled quotes»)

    Johannes Leendert Geluk

    • 2 Comments
    Trados is supposed to display the same AutoCorrect behaviour as Word, but it does not for Spanish. It insists in changing "dumb quotes" to «angled quotes» rather than “smart quotes”. The «angled quotes» quotes may be correct in Spanish, but often “smart...

  • Tweak for proper Greek end punctuation in QA

    When using Check that source and target end with the same punctuation there are some TUs flagged which should not be flagged when it comes to Greek. In Greek, the character for the question mark is ";". Therefore, a sound QA check should expect the...

  • Restore source language search using keyboard in project creation

    Unlike Studio 2015, it's not possible to search a source language using keyboard by typing the first letter of a language. It's a real lost of time to search a language by scrolling the list. Thank you, Vincent
