  • Studio analysis - detailed retrieval for each TM

    • Under Review

    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...

    As simple as that - old projects automatically compressed and stored (each) within a single archive during "Mark as Complete" process instead of leaving the full structure on a drive. Of course Reactivating project would run the reverse process. Possibly...

    The analysis report is horrible to read. Please offer the possibility to adapt it to one's requirements (e.g. remove AdaptiveMT or Repaired words if I don't use it).

    Problem: when you want to replace a certain word in all target segments. CTRL + F, enter word to replace, click on "replace", enter new word, click on "replace all" à and nothing happens. To use the function “replace all”, you have first to replace one...
  • SRT (SubRip) filter - disable "Process line breaks automatically" by default

    "Process line breaks automatically" option causes more harm than good. It creates unbalanced subtitles and breaks linguistic units in suboptimal places. Often can cause subtitles to appear in more than 2x lines (which is against common guidelines). ...
  • It would be very helpful to have an option for translating Visio files in Studio.

    • Idea Delivered

    This option did exist some time ago and we used it extensively but then SDL, quite unfortunately, removed it. For corporate server-based users like us, buying extra programs in AppStore is not a very good idea, nor is it appreciated by our management...
  • Merging or splitting segments mucks up word count

    • Idea Delivered
    • 2 Comments
    Merging or splitting segments in the Editor mucks up the word count and percentages. This bug has persisted for YEARS. I know SDL personnel have dismissed it as low-priority, but it really is a highly visible and annoying error and undermines trust in...

    The Align module font is uncomfortably small, and there is no way to increase it. Can you please add a feature to increase the size?

    Some users and customers prefer saving the target files with language code included in the name, f.e. "Sample_File_EN.docx" instead of "Sample_File". This definitely should not be a default behavior of Studio, but there should be an (advanced) option...
