    When searching using Find and Replace, relevent segments tend to be shown towards the very top or very bottom of the bilingual editing window. This makes it more difficult to understand the immediate context of each search item. This context is clearly...

    For the Excel source, returns (new lines) are recognized as spaces, and several sentences are included in one segment. It would be nice if the sentences are segmented by return.

    Hi, This is something devs should be able to set easily as from what I know it should only be a switch from ON to OFF in laucher settings (at least for Windows). Although my PC is very performant it still takes some time for Trados to launch. I use...

    When creating a package in Studio, there is an option to remove the resource links for server-based resources: This is to avoid that the freelance user who opens this package gets an error message that he cannot access the resource. Unfortunately, this...

    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.
