  • Add a file type

    If a new file type needs to be added, one has to do it within a project under project settings and update the project template. When managing over 30 languages this procedure only means an expenditure of time. What about adding a new file type regardless...

    I received idml files from one of my clients which were created in Adobe InDesign 15, and I was not able to use these files in SDL Trados Studio 2019. As a workaround, I had to open the idml files in Adobe InDesign 14, save them again as idml. Please...

    We currently have 100+ schemas to choose from each time we setup a new page, add a new widget, etc. The dropdown menu is tiny and only exposes 7 items at a time, leaving editors scrolling for a veeeeeery long time searching for their specific item. If...

    With the project template when we take the url from the content nodepreviewUrl nodeLiveUrl="https://samplesite/" in Groupshare it looks fine, but in real, it copies also the quotes, so when clicked on open in browser, it can't open it, because there...

    A lot of translators are using this technique to stay more productive and focus on the task. Adding the Pomodoro Timer would allow them to keep the tracking within the Studio environment. So save the editor space, this button (with a 20-minute timer)...

  • Option to disable auto-update of project template during project wizard in Studio 2019

    We have noticed that when we use a specific template to set up a new project in Studio 2019, and we remove a target language, the TM for that language that was set in the template is automatically disconnected. Our customer service reps must then remember...

  • Unifying settings into one item for the feature Overwrite

    • 3 Comments
    I think it is confusing that SDL Trados settings show 2 misleadingly different options. Also, when you say "existing translation unit", do you mean "existing in the TM" or "existing in the bilingual xliff file"?? It is very confusing. See images : Batch...

    Hello, I hope you can introduce this feature: 1. Filter for segments in the Advanced display filter (already available and easy to do). 2. Introduce a feature in the Editor that would allow the translator to confirm active segments (the ones filtered...

    The Find and Replace function is currently only available in the Translation mode. It would be very helpful to have it also available for the revision step, as it without it replacing a term that has been incorrectly translated throughout the document...

    See https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.05978.pdf for a discussion of "full document presentation", which is what I'd like to see in a CAT tool. Personally, I think it'd be great to be able to freely re-arrange sentences and so adapt the source text structure...
