  • Export of the Analysis Statistics (Project View)

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    The only project analysis across all project languages is the Analysis Statistics in the Project View. To evaluate the matches further and calculate costs of the whole project an export function to Excel would be great. The Reports View only offers...
  • Prepare files for translation step

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    Most of my files should be translated to 5 languages. It would be beneficial to have an optional "Prepare files" step where I could lock certain segments (usually because they should not be translated), or change the source text before creating projects...
  • Term recognition window display problem

    Term recognition window display problem Contextual fields in Term Recognition tool are essential to document your terminology. BUT if you put more than a few words, you will not be able to read your own comments as the text in the fields is not wrapped...
  • Spellchecker functionality

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    The spellchecker using the MS Word dictionary works quite well, but I had hoped that the 2017 version of Studio would come with an Undo function. When spellchecking there is a lot of "Ignore All", and it is very easy to make a mistake, especially if the...
  • Backing up Translation Memories

    • Under Review
    • 2 Comments
    It is good practice to regularly export your TM's as a tmx so they are safe from problems associated with database corruption. It would be a very nice feature in Studio if you could set a warning that reminds you every week (configurable) that you need...
  • Adding a TM or a TermBase

    • Under Review

    It would be more logical if the ability to add a TM, or a TermBase, were available as shortcuts in the relevant window in the editor, or as a right-click option. So just one-click and select the appropriate resource
  • Add date when a file was added in Files View

    • Under Review
    • 2 Comments
    I suppose it would be a useful idea. I suppose that many of us add new files to existing projects at later stages, but it's difficult to filter them out once they have been added. Now you can sort them by size or status, but not by date.
  • XLIFF Import for TMs

    • Not Considering
    • 2 Comments
    In addition to allowing an SDLTM to be updated with the contents of a TMX, TTX, ITD, SDLXLIFF, it would be a nice enhancement to increase support for XLIFF in general and allow the import of a correctly formed XLIFF into the translation memory directly...
  • Ctrl+Comma should not include single-digit numbers

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    If there is a single digit number in the source text, this is included in the drop down box when Ctrl+Comma is pressed to add tags to the target. My suggestion is to only include numbers of two digits or more in this list. Individual numbers are obviously...
  • Studio should perform normalization for locked content in XML files

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    Right now, when you lock content, because it is tagged as not translatable, Studio does not perform any whitespace normalization, so it will keep the spaces you have in the source file. SDL Support reports that this is because they are trying to preserve...
