    • 0 Comments
    Hi! In the project wizard, I think it would be a good idea to have all translation resources in one place (TMs, Autosuggest Dictionaries, Termbases and PerfectMatch files). By the way, I never understood why AS dictionaries where "hidden"...

    I saw a similar idea that talked about MT engines used in the Translation Results window. I think that's a great idea, being able to see at a glance the origin of all matches without having to click specifically in each of them. However, I wanted to expand...

    • In Progress
    • 33 Comments
    Some of us have trouble to see very small font sizes, like comments. There should be a way to make it bigger. Generally speaking, anything that could be done to make Trados visually comfortable would be nice. Please note I use Trados 2021 and I have...

    Hello. It would be great if there was added functionality in Studio to search for specific tags. I'd like to search for, and add QA checks for, missing spaces around conref tags in DITA files. Thanks Luke

    Is it possible to search for ideas by subject? I can't find a search button or field on this webpage. I’d like to submit some ideas, but it might be good to go through the current stack of 438 ideas to see if certain ideas have already been submitted...
  • Support for emoji in Trados Studio

    • Idea Delivered
    • 2 Comments
    We're seeing quite a lot of use of emoji recently, especially in the gaming sectors. But Studio strips them out in the source so they can't be translated at all. It would be useful to have support for this. Also relates to this article: https://gateway...

    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...
