Changes introduced in SDL Trados Business Manager Lite version 5.1.1

New Release for SDL Trados Business Manager Lite version 5 (Build 5.1.1, released on 10 October 2019)

The SDL Trados Business Manager Lite version 5.1.1 (referred to as "Business Manager Lite") release addresses the following:

  • Import from CAT tools: Fixed an issue that occurred when importing Studio analysis files where fuzzy matches were seen as internal fuzzy matches;
  • Dashboard: the default tab is now the 'Dashboard', not 'Invoices'
  • Project editing window: the default display for decimals in prices and amounts is now 2 decimal places (previously it was 5).  Additional decimals will be displayed if they contain any meaningful value (for example; 0.117 but not 0.110 or 0.205 but not 0.200)

Downloading and Installing

There is no automatic update for Business Manager Lite, so you will need to download the plugin from your MySDL Account and save it to your desktop.  Double-click the plugin file and follow the on-screen instructions to download and apply the update.
