  • More powerful Regex

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    . I believe more powerful Regex “flavors” do allow changing the capitalization of strings. I believe tokens \U and \L are allowed in more powerful Regex flavors, but not in .NET which is the one used by Trados, I believe. It would be great and incredibly...
  • Enhance Trados Studio's XML Preview with Interactive Stylesheets (also Trados Enterprise)

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Trados Studio's XSLT-based preview mechanism provides flexibility in rendering custom XML file previews. However, it lacks dynamic, real-time interactivity. Users are currently unable to tailor previews to display only content relevant to the active segment...
  • Segment locking in Track Changes modus

    • Planned For Future Release
    • 0 Comments
    In former editions of Studio it was possible to lock segments when working in Track Changes mode. Since Studio 2015 SR1 (I think) this is not possible anymore. Not only the lock function is not working in Track Changes (you have to switch to lock a segment...
  • "Notes" column in Files View

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    I know there are loads of possible columns for the Files View. Unfortunately the one column which would be really useful to me is not there (yet): one where I can jot down my own notes regarding a specific file. A specialised version of this idea would...

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Over the past few years, I have been keeping caring about the new product launches of Trados Studio. It seems that every time a new version of Trados Studio (desktop software) is released, there is mention of improved handling of large files. However...

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    As far as I know we currently have only 2 ways to connect to glossaries, first by including the offline termbase, the second by connecting a server-based TB. My idea would be to generate a project based termbase including only project related terms. This...
  • Allow the display of term entries (via Ctrl+Shift+L) when autosuggestions are already displayed

    • Under Community Review

    Currently, one has to click Escape first to remove autosuggestions and then click Ctrl+Shift+L.
  • Tag view that combines Full tag text and Tag ID

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    It would be useful to have a tag view that combines Full tag text and Tag ID, so that both the meaning of the tag and correctness of the tag pair can be viewed, as I find myself endlessly switching between the two view to verify the tags.
  • Segment age penalties

    • Under Community Review
    • 8 Comments
    The idea would be to allow a penalty to be applied for segments that have not been used for a long time, based on segment age as terminology might have changed or a translator might have improved in terms of becoming more succinct, or initial translation...
  • Handle Non-Breaking Spaces as Normal Space Characters in Search

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 3 Comments
    It would be great if Studio could handle non-breaking spaces as normal space characters when searching for text strings or filtering in the editor view. Example: – Text stored in TM/entered as target text in editor: "a<non-breaking space>text". ...
