    Hi, it would be nice if the default behaviour for tags would be "Must be inside of segment" instead of whatever it is now. The problem is that many PMs and clients don't know what they are doing when defining file type definitions or defining tags in...

    For various reasons, it's possible that your TM start having a lot of unwanted "multiple translations", which is what we call TUs with the same source but different targets. Those will really slow down translation and/or increase costs. Whether the TM...

    The idea is to create a Trados Studio "spinoff" (or a view pane) able to display an sdlxliff file in the same way the editor does, just quickly, with no modifications available or project created, but with all the metadata available in the editor for...

    After running the spell check and making corrections, all these corrections are not confirmed, so I have to go back in to confirm them. Why not have an option to confirm segments as I spell check?

    Percentage (progress) in files does not match the percentage in the editor. This is annoying, if you look at the files in files and organise your work according to the information, you may be surprised when this file is opened in the editor. I've already...

    The comments added to the target segments in the Studio are not exported to the ODT text documents while working with the ODT files and "Saving the target as" in the Studio 2021. It would be best to have the Studio comments (optionally) saved in the target...

    Our most commonly used scenario is to use a TD group in WorldServer that contains multiple TDs. We would like SDL Trados Studio to take the priority order in TD group in WorldServer into account when displaying term matches. Note that currently WorldServer...
