    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 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...

    There are many translators who prefer black background and white or green text (Unix console style) instead of the typical setting. It would be great to allow users to customize colors without any limitations instead of selecting predefined themes.

    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.

    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...

    When setting up a project with the New Project Wizard, the Due Date field should always have the current date and next full hour as the default (pre-set) value instead of some random date in the past (even if the template was based on a project with a...

    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...

    This can be very handy in numerous cases and it is much more user friendly than fiddling with regexes to accomplish the same.

    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...
