    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...

    "Process line breaks automatically" option causes more harm than good. It creates unbalanced subtitles and breaks linguistic units in suboptimal places. Often can cause subtitles to appear in more than 2x lines (which is against common guidelines). ...

    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...

    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...

    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 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...

    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...

    • 3 Comments
    This option did exist some time ago and we used it extensively but then SDL, quite unfortunately, removed it. For corporate server-based users like us, buying extra programs in AppStore is not a very good idea, nor is it appreciated by our management...
