  • Show taskbar icon for Unsigned Plugin alert window

    • Under Community Review on

    Not many users may encounter this but I do on regular basis. This alert likes to hide behind other windows and there is nothing else to indicate that the user already started Studio. Hence it can easily happen that Studio is started twice or even more...

    This Problem when searching a word with Search Tool Window. Fact: When the text segment has more rows, the found word will shown as last row (bottom of the window) when serching forwards or first row (top of the window) when searching backwards. Problem...
  • Finalize (or another batch task) as either a keyboard shortcut or to customize

    As the title states, It's strange to see so many options for customization and not this one, where you need 4 clicks to finish the action. Would be very useful.
  • Fix automatically multiple and erroneous spaces

    Some sort of Editor option that would either 1) do not allow entering multiple spaces/extra spaces at the beginning/end of a segment or 2) fix them automatically. For example, Metatexis provides such an option at the preparing final version stage. This...

    Currently Trados Studio, when used in controlled corporate or company networks is starting slower than it could, because it's probing some internet servers (as they are defined in the config), If it can't reach them, the user get warning - amber ring...
  • Track changes reminder (Active/Inactive) shown in screen (in Statur bar, for example)

    Sometimes happens to me that I'm proofreading, I put it in Final mode and I don't realise that Track changes is inactive, because nowhere in the screen is shown. When you click on Track changes button it doesn't change colour or aspect, so I'd like...
  • Allow columns in Word document tables to be specified for Studio source and target

    • 1 Comment
    I am often presented with Microsoft Word documents for translation, in which there are two or more columns, with the source in one column and a semi-translated "target" in another column. Translating only the source in Studio does not present a problem...

    • 1 Comment
    Those of us who work with long files and tight deadlines, need an option to import segments, in batches,group of segments (e.g. a chapter) or chunks of text. When the deadline is near and the editor starts to work when we are still translating we need...
  • Add visual distinction to CM/100% TC and fuzzy TCs

    • Under Community Review on
    • 2 Comments
    Currently, for segments containing track changes, segment status appears as "TC" and their full true TM status is visible only if looking at Translation Result window (as there we can see if it is CM/100%, or a fuzzy). It would be helpful to have some...
  • Pre-assign internal fuzzy leverage values to segments

    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    The larger a project the more internal fuzzy matches, and the number of segments with a high fuzzy match value can be quite big. To save time during review it would be great to be able to start the project translating 0% matches that will not later...
