    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...

    I find the segment layout of the edit window a bit confusing. I understand that saving screen space is crucial in an app with such a complex interface, but I would find really useful a way to add some padding to the segment fields in order to customize...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    In the TermBase, an entry must first be selected and then a tiny button clicked. It would be nice if the term could be inserted directly into the translation by double-clicking. This is especially important now, when due to an error during the last update...
