  • Add the ability to choose the source of a translation: AI Professional

    • Not Considering

    I use two NMT translation providers and, of course, a translation memory. But how can I tell AIP WHICH translation to use as a source? I miss that deeply.
  • Include diacritical marks and symbols in ribbon

    • 1 Comment
    I don't know about everybody else, but adding customization to the file types for diacritical letters is simply hit and miss. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't for me. If only we could have diacritics on the ribbon, life would be a lot...

    Hi! I am using the latest SDL 2022. I would like to add a new term to the TM located on the hard drive while a server-based TM is active i.e. opened in the Termbase Viewer tab. In order to achieve it now, I have to reopen the TM on the hard drive...

    Hi. When I upgraded from 2019, I didn't think a feature that was already supported natively would be removed with the upgrade. I managed to install MT Enhanced plugin to use Google/Microsoft translators for now. However, what if the developer...
  • Studio - Add Uninstall command to the Plug-ins dialog

    I wanted to uninstall an add-in and intuitively clicked on the Add-ins icon in Studio. However, there is no option to remove an add-in. Then I searched the hard disk for the presumed name of the add-in or for a subdirectory for add-ins. In vain. Support...
  • add a way to format isotopes correctly

    • 4 Comments
    Hi, would it be possible to add a way to format isotopes correctly (e.g. like in Word where you insert a formula in a specific format). See this Video on how to write isotopes in Word for a better understanding. The problem is that you need a superscript...
  • Have alignment tool use MT to align more accurately

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    I think the alignment tool would be much more powerful if it referred to a machine translation service like DeepL. In other words, it could segment the source file, machine translate it, and then use the results of the machine translation to figure out...
  • Enable SDL Trados Studio to translate DITAMAPs

    • Idea Delivered
    • 0 Comments
    BACKGROUND: When translating data from content management systems (CMS), OASIS DITA XML topic files (.dita) can be opened and translated with Trados Studio. A big issue is that the related DITAMAP files (.ditamap) are not recognized by Trados Studio as...
  • Include information about original tag content in TMs

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    Obviously it would be a bad idea to make the TM lookup process match exact tags - that would make the TMs less useful. However, it can be useful to know exactly what tag was stored in the TM originally. It would be nice to see that information included...
