    Fear of upgrading the Studio to a newer version is quite common. This is mainly because of issues with licensing (deactivating and activating licenses) and moving resources. There is the Migration assistant, but it does not solve the problem for less...

    Currently, one needs to start typing in order to see the term suggestions. The old functionality of ALT+arrow keys appears defunct. It would be useful if we could still use it to enter terms. I.e. ALT+down arrow to enter current term, ALT+ right arrow...

    This could be an extra option in Translation memory settings > Language resources > Recognize group and should apply to any word excluding the first word of the segment (or that could be a suboption). It is already implemented from time immemorial in...

    ファイルビューに、直接入力できるコメント列があればと思います。 ファイルについての注意事項や残タスクなどをコメントとして入力できれば、作業中にコメントを参照して自分や他のメンバーにリマインドすることができ、便利ではないかと思います。

    Some CAT tools (for instance, Memsource) mark segments that are repeated later on in the same document (or set of documents) or that are a repetition of earlier segments (see attached screen shot, and note the blue symbols in a column on the right). This...

    Hi Studio developers I would like to have an option to simple add "English" (not US, UK, or other variants) as source language when creating a TM, so that the TM can be used and accept translation records from other English variants no matter language...

    One of the greater benefits of Passolo is that version history is maintained per string. This might take an overhaul of sorts but wondering if this idea has come up for Studio as well?

    Hello. This is a very simple feature I've seen in another CAT tool and I found it to be very motivating and generally giving you a better overview of the workload. It also has an estimate of the time needed to complete the task: The speed is of course...

  • More efficient use of the QuickPlace function

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    The best way to explain what I mean is through an example. In the segment: two Placeables were identified. When I'm typying the translation, and I reach the point to insert the first Placeable ("PULSUM"), I type "CTRL + ," and a list containing the...

    Currently, Trados Studio 2024 (desktop application) still generates various error messages during use. Translators do not have the time to report these errors each time they occur. Interestingly, almost every “error” can already be found as previously...
