  • Marking repetitions

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Translation speed in words per hour in the progress bar (like in MateCat)

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 5 Comments
    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...
  • Display remaining characters for SDL Cloud MT

    • In Progress
    • 5 Comments
    It would be great, if we could view how many characters we have left out of our monthly quota in SDL Cloud MT. This could be displayed e.g. in the bottom bar or anywhere else where it's easy to monitor.
  • 'Replace all' function in the source column of the Editor view

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 3 Comments
    I don't know if I'm the only Trados user who has used / has been able to use the 'Replace all' function in the source column of the Editor view, but with the last version update to 2022 I lost this function and I really miss it. Now I only have the normal...
  • Quick Access Toolbar button for "Display Fragment Matches results if no TM lookup results"

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    The option to display results from the Fragment Matches window if the TM lookup returns no results is very useful when translating or reviewing, but not when preparing files or during sign-off (where it's actually very annoying). It would be useful to...

  • Transliteration add-in

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    I'd like to see an add-in that would transliterate selected text from one alphabet to another, e.g. Cyrillic Russian to English, with options for selecting the transliteration standards required, e.g. GOST7.79B or ISO9. Much of translation from a language...

    Changing the font size should definitely be more flexible and easier to apply. Going to options and setting font adaptation is not really a straightforward solution. Adding few icons to increase or decrease font sizes instantly should be fairly easy to...
  • Pinning projects

    • Under Review
    • 0 Comments
    Can you add an option to pin projects in the project overview section, so they will always be visible in the overview? Just as in Firefox, where there's an option to pin tabs, just for projects that need to be open all the time. It will avoid accidentally...
  • Possibility to deactivate Language Cloud

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    In our system, connection to Language Cloud is not permitted, and thus there are lots of respective error messages in the log files. This unsettles our users, and I also feel it slows down our Trados. It should be possible to deactivate Language Cloud...
