  • Support Extended Markdown as a filetype

    It would be great to have a file type that supports extended markdown as it is more and more widely supported for documentation files (using MkDocs, Hugo, Jekyll). The default Markdown filetype doesn't parse extended content very well thus increasing...

    Hi, it would be faster if step 3 (user profile) would be set before step 2 (details about current user) but for this these details would have to be saved within the profile (if not already implemented that way). Why change the order? As these details...

  • Allow translation files and reference files with the same name

    Currently you cannot add a reference file and translatable file with the same name in a project. I believe the reason why is because Studio keeps the original files in the source folder, so a reference file with the same name would conflict with the original...

    With my TMs expanding (5 million segments per TM, or sometimes more), we need to be able to easily split TMs! https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0032215 Solutions such as the above do not work! I have a workaround,...

    Hi, it would be very useful to be able to change the termbase in Terminology Veryfier. We have often Termbases (Wording) provided by a client, that we cannot change. Therefore we use our own termbase in order to add new terms without changing the client...

  • Madcap Flare snippet (.flsnp) files

    Snippet (.flsnp) files are commonplace in Madcap Flare, Studio 2017 should really support these. I have a workaround of entering *.flsnp into the File Dialog wildcard expression field (so that Studio can then recognise the snippet files as translatable...

  • Enabling GroupShare for MacOS

    • Not Considering
    • 1 Comment
    One of our vendors uses a Macintosh machine for translation projects with Trados Studio. Mac is not quite "Studio friendly", but they have found a workaround to use it. The problem is when we add GroupShare to the equation: they can download and work...

    Hello, would it be possible to include version/build number into the status line - for example next to GS server information? This would be really helpful when checking anything and dealing with any issues with other colleagues and freelancers. When...

  • Recognize Think Cell elements on MS Power Point

    • Under Community Review

    SDL Trados Studio is lacking an important feature which is recognizing Think Cell elements on MS Power Point. Once you save the target, you discover that those elements are left without translation and you have to do translate them manually. It will be...

  • Confirm segment after applying an exact match

    Ulrike Michiels
    • Under Community Review

    When this option is activated, the respective segment is not only assigned the symbol for "Translated", but is also automatically written into the TM that is set as "Update". This behaviour is not obvious, but the option should rather be called "Confirm...
