    By default all reports have the same names, and the most recent one is added on top, but it requires a click to display them. In many cases it can be misleading and confusing with several reports sharing the same name. My idea is simple - add a timestamp...

    At the moment, MT can be implemented in three ways: pretranslate a whole file; display in the Translation Results window; automatically apply in the active segment after look-up. However, a fourth option is needed: perform MT look-up on demand for the...

    Currently, SDL Trados has the great feature of translating bilingual excel files. So, you can only translate one-column excel file. But when there are more than one column you need to translate, there is no option to specify those columns. As you can...

    Since Verify task is performed at later stage of a translation project, it would be really helpful if this Verify (F8) would also trigger an ordinary Save operation (apart from Autosave, I mean) in the background. It would make sense to keep your translated...

    Hi, team, Currently, we're only able to get one file's specific version at a time within Trados Studio. As you can imagine, it would be unpractical to download each file for projects with multiple xliffs, and since the project goes straight to the...

    Since it is possible to save settings in ADF 2.0 in Trados, and to import settings into it, would it not be possible to extend ADF 2.0 to allow users to create a library of the commonly used filters. For example, I have 6-8 such filters that I have...
