    Currently, there is no way to determine the SDLXLIFF files on which version of Studio was used to save the files as latest. It's hard to investigate when has problem with translation files, whether the SDLXLIFF had been translated on the right Studio...

    Many users get confused when they need to add new files to an existing project. Switching the language to source language, running the Prepare for translation batch task etc. This really should be a one click operation (maybe with tiny option to run the...

    It is not currently possible to enter a non-breaking space (Ctrl+Shift+Space) in the Editor's search function. If I search for a phrase which has a non-breaking space in it, Studio will not find it unless I use a star symbol (Two*words). In this scenario...

    It would be great to have a check/reminder that server project files are still checked out, when closing Trados Studio. To expand on that idea, maybe include the question/feature to check-in all the files automatically before Studio is closed. This...
