White Space Consistency in Studio

Kenneth Stormoen

- 3 Comments
I have noticed a peculiar behavior in Trados Studio. When you double click a word in a segment (source or target), Studio will normally highlight the word + the white space just after the word, if any. However, if you mark the last word in a line...

Only show folder selection dialog *one time+ when selecting "Save Target As" or "Save Source As" for multiple files

Currently when you have multiple files open at the same time and select "Save Target As" or "Save Source As", you have to select the folder to save the file for *each* file. I think in the majority (99% or higher?) of cases, the user wants to save all...

Use of Windows convention keys

It would be useful if SDL used the Windows conventions for keys. The Escape key should work to exit any dialog or dropdown or otherwise. I repeatedly hit the Escape key to exit a dialog thinking there is something wrong with the key, only to realise...

I would like a "reorganize termbase" button within Trados, in project settings, in a similar way to "upgrade memory" button for translation memories. That would save time to reorganize every single termbases individually in Multiterm.

Highlight upLIFT segments in Editor window

Michael Bauer

The upLIFT feature is handy but I have noticed that it results in a significant upturn in the number of minor errors slipping through during translation because the changes are only marked in the Segment Matches window but not the editor window, so the...

Automatically change file view to target after "Prepare (without project TM)"

James Knight

- 3 Comments
I use "Prepare without project TM" for every single job I do. I then have to manually change the File view from German to English (in my case) before I can open the file for editing. I can't think of any circumstances where I wouldn't want to go straight...

Use Language Resources of existing TM by default when upgrading TM

Luke Potter

- 3 Comments
It is necessary to upgrade TMs for use in Studio 2019. When this is done, a new TM is created. The default setting for the language resources of the new TM is Studio's default language resources (see image). If you wish to use the language resources...

Display Term Match Rates in all Termbase Search Modes

Daniel Hug
- Under Community Review on 5 Sep 2024
- 0 Comments
As pointed out in this thread , Studio 2024 currently displays match rates of found TB terms with terms found in the source segments only if the search mode is “parallel”: In the other two search modes (hierarchical, sequential), this match rate is...

Show analysis/statistics for TM utilization at the project and file level

Rebecca Herrera

It would be nice if when looking at the TM leverage for a project or file, a user could see the break down of how many, by %, segments are leveraged per TM in a given sequence. (e.g., 20% of the 100% matches come from TM 1, 80% of the 100% come from TM...
