  • Add formatting to comments

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    One thing in Studio I use regularly to communicate with my reviewers are the comments. However, in the current version, they are rather basic. What I wish for them is the possibility to format text in them. Think MS Word, especially the later versions...
  • Provide a warning when switching on "merge over paragraph breaks"

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    It is a great option, which works usually as expected. However, in certain formats like xliff or xml a file structure damage may appear, so merging should be done only with checking the target file for usability. In formats like Word merging is usually...

    It would be a nice feature if errors encountered whilst using the software could have the relevant information captured from the error stack and then a search automatically applied to the knowledgebase and the help and then provide helpful links to relevant...
  • Run batch tasks on multiple projects

    • Under Community Review
    • 3 Comments
    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...
  • Copy source tags to target column with one keystroke or button

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    Several CAT tools have this very useful feature: with one keystroke or button I can copy ONLY the tags in the source column to the target column. This allows me to then translate my content around the tags. Presently, with QuickTag Insert, I can only...

  • Whitespaces in Editor

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Whitespaces can be visible if you set "Show Whitespace Characters" on. I have two suggestions for this whitespace character. 1. Change the color of whitespaces characters. It is difficult to distinguish between a middle point character ("・") and the...
  • Searched word/phrase highlighting

    • Under Community Review
    • 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...
  • Use only XLIFF files with correct language combination for target languages

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    We have a Studio project with 10 target languages. We have 10 source XLIFF files where the language combinations are specified. Studio should only use the correct XLIFF file for each target language, not all XLIFF files for each language (I could've...
