  • Enhance default DITA file type settings concerning non-translatable elements that might actually be inline and not structural

    • Under Community Review on
    • 3 Comments
    I am not a big fan of adding fancy complex XPath parser rules that make XML file type settings fairly difficult to read. Nevertheless, I think that the default DITA parser rule that defines all XML nodes of this type //*[@translate='no'] as structural...
  • Font size for comments

    • In Progress on
    • 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...

    By ending SDLXLIFF Converter for Studio 2024 you have removed key functionality, i.e. the ability filter the segments that are exported. Restore this functionality! Give the users that same controls over what is exported!

    I noticed that in the term recognition windows in the Online Editor, terms having the Status: Preferred are marked with a green block background color, and, terms having the Status: Forbidden are marked with a red block background color. This makes it...

    • 0 Comments
    So far, you have to Complete each task of a Cloud project individually, which is quite time consuming, if there are many files in one project. In Trados Enterprise it is possible to select all tasks of one project and set them as Complete in one batch...

    Dear Trados Studio developers, Regarding term recognition in the editor, there used to be a great feature in the Workbench (yes, that was a long time ago!): you could simply click on the red line above a term and the termbase recognition panel would instantly...

    Found this has been discussed a few years ago, then it's a pebble dropped in the sea. Wondering is it still on the way? Would absolutely help ease the eyes. Thanks!

    It is currently not possible to run batch tasks on multiple projects in Trados Studio. Having this implemented would speed up processes like pre-translating and analyzing project files as well as creating and re-importing bilingual review files, amongst...

    • 0 Comments
    It would be helpful if searched words/phrases and filtered keywords in all the relevant segments are highlighted, since we can spot the words/phrases all at once and it can save pressing of "search next" several times. In addition, regarding Wordlight...
