  • Automatic switching from Termbase Search window back to Term Recognition window

    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    Dear SDL developers, Sometimes, when working in Studio and a term that I would expect to be displayed in the Term Recognition doesn't appear, I change to the Termbase Search window to search for it manually. Quite often, it then happens that I forget...

    It would be great if it would be possible to export files for external review in odt format and/or import external review even if Studio does not find revision marks
  • Choose from document structure information to update field of translation unit

    It could be helpful to be able to select from document structure information to update a custom field of a TM. Let's say I use the bilingual excel filetype and choose a column for rererence information that would appear in the document structure information...
  • Dragging TMs to Templates

    • 0 Comments
    For clients that require more than one TM, it would be great to be able to drag the TMs to the template instead of having to click Add + File based translation memory and selecting it on the explorer. It would be much easier to drag them all!
  • Batch tasks (search and replace) on translation memory

    Hi, Would it be possible to select several translation memories at once instead of only one for executing batch tasks on them? This scenario would be very effective if you have several TM with either same target language or same language combinations...

    Could we please have a switch (eg. button) to link/unlink the left and right column in Preview/Side-by side view so they would scroll together/independently. At the time being there is independent scrolling only.
  • Untranslatable segment handling

    • Under Community Review on
    • 2 Comments
    I would appreciate a segment status that indicates a segment that is not going to be translated. You can't always filter those out ahead of time, and then they sit around and show up as untranslated or the source text gets inserted when the target file...
  • Studio should perform normalization for locked content in XML files

    • Under Community Review on
    • 1 Comment
    Right now, when you lock content, because it is tagged as not translatable, Studio does not perform any whitespace normalization, so it will keep the spaces you have in the source file. SDL Support reports that this is because they are trying to preserve...
  • Have concordance search show a 100% match as the first result

    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    If the TM has a 100% Match for the exact text searched for in the Concordance, it would be good if the Concordance would always show this as the first result. i.e. I search for "Fahrzeug" and the 100% match "Vehicle" is shown as the first concordance...

    • 0 Comments
    When working on Word files with bulleted lists, it is not possible to preserve the bullet point numbers and letters (such as bullet point 1a) when creating a Studio package. Files where many segments include references to other bullet points, become very...
