    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...
  • Leveraging Studio's "potential duplicates" option as a TM cleanup feature

    • Under Community Review on
    • 1 Comment
    The TM management plugins on the appstore are good for cleaning up TMs, but I feel like the "Search for potential duplicates" feature already built into Studio would be a great asset for spotting repeated entries that are not exact duplicates. Right...

    If one selects "Generate target translation" for a bilingual file, and the has to edit that file for some reason, there is a prompt "Do you want to revert the native file to SDXLIFF format before opening?". I see this as a superfluous prompt, perform...
