    It would be nice to be able to assign a penalty to single word terms, as these are prone to be erroneously populated in pre-translation and auto-propagation. A penalty with configurable number of words would be even better.

  • Auotmatically adding TM as AnyTM when appropriate

    The current behavior when attempting to add a TM that doesn't match the project languages is that Studio will give a warning message and finish by saying "Consider adding this TM via AnyTM". Instead of this, I would like to have Studio ask whether I want...

    When I use more than one Translation Memory in my projects, I miss an option for analyse files that tells me from which TM are the fuzzies and pretranslated segments retrieved. Like a breakdown for each memory. I think this feature would become very handy...

    Instead of the links to educational materials, which are only useful at the very beginning, the Welcome View could show the daily output from last 7 days, monthly output etc. Similar to running apps, with some simple achievements ("You have translated...

    Sometime splitting or merging segments is not enough and the order of the segments needs to be changed to make the translation work. Otherwise you have to create weird workarounds, such us splitting the source to create an empty source segments etc. That...

    Several Batch Tasks like "Export to Bilingual Review", "Update from Bilingual Review" and "Export files" use hardcoded paths in the project settings. This causes problems with Groupshare projects, as these paths generally do not exist on all PCs. SDL...

    Let's assume we have some heavy pre-processing to do against a large number of files. It would make sense to allow Studio to run in a special mode, where files would be processed in the background, while user could continue to work in the editor. The...

    Based on the fact that 90% of our support cases are based on issues with saving target file, I think it would make sense to automatically try to save the target file during the project preparation stage. Simply one of the 10(?) steps that are completed...

    The verification messages list should also have a column showing the segment numbers. Not just for sorting purposes, but also to avoid wasting time. For example, if based on the segment number I can see that two subsequent segments have issues, then I...
