  • Improve color coding of multiple translation units results

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    Having multiple permissible translation units for the same string is common, especially when going English > Another Language as English is, well, full of ambiguity of the pérvert vs pervért kind. When you come across a unit that requires a different...

    • 3 Comments
    If I want to select text in Studio (2017) including the trailing space character, I can: one word = double-click; several words = use mouse from start to end of string including last space. When I then apply a pair of tags from the source by holding...
  • Allowing file sorting in Virtual Merge stage

    • 2 Comments
    Due to several consideration, I am working in a relatively large project and the main file for that project was split by the agency in multiple smaller files and then handed them to me. I am not supposed to change or rename those files. I do often work...
  • Assign each package to every user

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 4 Comments
    When I create a project, I always need to assign each package to every user, when there are 40 languages, I need to do this 40 times... It's really a tough work with no meanings. Would you please help us to improve this step?

    It appears you cannot drag and drop files to an existing project in Studio 2019 to avoid the steps of switching to target and copying to target langs. And to benefit from this new feature you have to add files through the browsing window. Can the...
  • Comment Report as a "Batch Task"

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if we could run a "Comment Report" from the Batch Task menu, also excluding non-commented segments. There are some workarounds, mainly using "Export for Bilingual Review", but having a dedicated function for that would be awesome. ...
  • Creation of a project termbase for translation packages

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    As far as I know we currently have only 2 ways to connect to glossaries, first by including the offline termbase, the second by connecting a server-based TB. My idea would be to generate a project based termbase including only project related terms. This...

    Over the past few years, I have been keeping caring about the new product launches of Trados Studio. It seems that every time a new version of Trados Studio (desktop software) is released, there is mention of improved handling of large files. However...
  • Segment locking in Track Changes modus

    • Planned For Future Release
    • 0 Comments
    In former editions of Studio it was possible to lock segments when working in Track Changes mode. Since Studio 2015 SR1 (I think) this is not possible anymore. Not only the lock function is not working in Track Changes (you have to switch to lock a segment...
  • Enhance Trados Studio's XML Preview with Interactive Stylesheets (also Trados Enterprise)

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Trados Studio's XSLT-based preview mechanism provides flexibility in rendering custom XML file previews. However, it lacks dynamic, real-time interactivity. Users are currently unable to tailor previews to display only content relevant to the active segment...
