  • Automatically change file view to target after "Prepare (without project TM)"

    • Under Community Review
    • 3 Comments
    I use "Prepare without project TM" for every single job I do. I then have to manually change the File view from German to English (in my case) before I can open the file for editing. I can't think of any circumstances where I wouldn't want to go straight...
  • TM with multiple translations for same segment and penalties for structure information

    This could be an interesting feature, e.g. if you want to translate the same source text with different translations. Imagine you have different types of length restrictions. So you could set custom length restrictions (e.g. max chars per line, max...

    I would like a "reorganize termbase" button within Trados, in project settings, in a similar way to "upgrade memory" button for translation memories. That would save time to reorganize every single termbases individually in Multiterm.
  • Accept track changes when confirming a segment

    Due to some changes in my work process I discovered that track changes stay when confirming a segment in Translation Mode. I think there should at least be an option to accept them automatically on a confirmation (as they seem to be accepted when the...
  • White Space Consistency in Studio

    • 3 Comments
    I have noticed a peculiar behavior in Trados Studio. When you double click a word in a segment (source or target), Studio will normally highlight the word + the white space just after the word, if any. However, if you mark the last word in a line...
  • Highlight upLIFT segments in Editor window

    • Under Community Review

    The upLIFT feature is handy but I have noticed that it results in a significant upturn in the number of minor errors slipping through during translation because the changes are only marked in the Segment Matches window but not the editor window, so the...

    When setting up a project with the New Project Wizard, the Due Date field should always have the current date and next full hour as the default (pre-set) value instead of some random date in the past (even if the template was based on a project with a...
  • Show analysis/statistics for TM utilization at the project and file level

    It would be nice if when looking at the TM leverage for a project or file, a user could see the break down of how many, by %, segments are leveraged per TM in a given sequence. (e.g., 20% of the 100% matches come from TM 1, 80% of the 100% come from TM...

    I would like to see in alphabetically order the users list (i.e. during the procedure for creating a package). Example: if I enter this list of translators (Users) Giovanni Rossi Alberti Marco Fenucci Roberto Inita Rodriguez The drop-down...
  • Use Language Resources of existing TM by default when upgrading TM

    • Under Community Review
    • 3 Comments
    It is necessary to upgrade TMs for use in Studio 2019. When this is done, a new TM is created. The default setting for the language resources of the new TM is Studio's default language resources (see image). If you wish to use the language resources...
