    When editing an existing entry in the termbase from Studio, using your own input model (and not using the default layout), only the short form input model is shown: only fields that have content are displayed. It would be great if in Studio there was...

    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...

    I believe it would make sense to have an option to quickly display the fragment of the source document, but without any file settings applied - just the raw fragment of the source file around the current segment. Sometimes it brings additional information...

    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...
