    • 6 Comments
    I seem to be unable to find an option to disable the "Insert/Overwrite" Toggle (hitting the Insert key switches between Insert mode and Overwrite mode). This feature is absolutely useless for me, I might even describe it as detrimental to my productivity...
  • Integrate "Regex Match Autosuggest" with Studio

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Similarly to "Record Source", I use this excellent app a lot. The problem is that because it's not integrated with Studio, but is just a plugin, it automatically doesn't recognize the language direction you're using. In consequence, when translating from...

    Hello, We currently need to deactivate the "Acronym" setting for 2000 or so SDLTMs and it seems there is no batch edit option for such an operation. It would be really useful to have a batch edit mode for TM settings in order to be able to optimize...

    In projects with multiple languages, the translation memories need to be re-indexed or aligned for maintenance. The Translation Memory view in the project settings allows to check the control on top of the TM list, but then the Upgrade button is greyed...

    Please offer an option to confirm a segment without updating TM. It's useful for only number segments, or segments where source is same as target (e.g segments containing only placeable), etc., where you can use this option to confirm such a segment...
