    During the review stage, I like to have the Preview pane open, and taking up half of my Trados Studio UI. I then usually increase the font size of the preview a bit and start proofreading. Sometimes, it is necessary to click into a segment to make some...

    I regularly have to import TMX files to existing TMs. And I have them ready to drop them into the Import wizard but it doesn't let me because Drag and Drop is not enabled there. Very annoying indeed in this day and age. Actually, make all boxes where...

    It's really tedious to have to change your primary termbase several times during translation when you have several various termbases added to your project. In my projects I often use 3 termbases for cuisine, general terms and travel terms, and I found...

    In Trados Studio Editor, users profit from AutoCorrect options (defined under File > Options > Editor > AutoCorrect). For example, straight apostrophes and straight quotes are automatically converted to language-specific ones. It would be very useful...

    Wouldn't it be practical for translator and project manager alike to be able to distinguish between those 100%-matches that were made from scratch and those that were post-edited from NMT? It would help to recognize the potentially more direct translations...

    Is it possible to add the length of the text (or selected text) of the original and translation in the status line in the editor? This can be useful if there are restrictions on the length of the translation.I already know that there are settings that...

    In my company, we translate a lot of similar documents at the same time, meaning that mistakes can slip into other documents before they are corrected in the documents they originally occurred in. It is difficult to prevent this from happening; the “Always...

    Merging segments across paragraphs should be enabled by default, also when translating single files. It is annoying that the options "Allow source editing" and "Disable merging segments across paragraphs" have to be changed in each project.
