Hello @Phil Elliott

It is not possible to change the font size in Studio Alignment yet unfortunately-

The more users that request this functionality, the more ;likely it is to be implemented in future releases-

https://community.sdl.com/ideas/translation-productivity-ideas/i/trados-studio-ideas

The request to add the function to change the font size in Alignment view has been delivered in Studio 2022, according to this:

However, I can't see where to make the change.

In File > Options, there are font size settings for various different elements of Studio, but not for Alignment view.

In Alignment view there are no menu items relating to font size.

I've looked through various help pages and the documentation, but there is no reference to this feature.

Can someone advise, please?

Adding a reply here, in the hope that the post gets moved up again, and that someone is able to provide an answer this time around. Thanks.

The text "Delivered with Trados Studio 2022" is not correct one ? Then what's that supposed to mean ? exactly ?

Hi Kester Newill,

there is one detail here that is important to be aware of. The font change does not apply dynamically – so if an alignment is already open in the alignment editor, changing the font size in the Editor settings won't have any effect. You need to close the editor and reopen it after changing the font size in the Editor settings. Or have them set before starting an alignment, which is probably the better flow. So, this flow will work best:

1. Go to File - Options - Editor - Font Adaptation, and set the desired sizes under 'Adapt font sizes'.
2. Now start the alignment. When the file opens in the alignment editor, these settings should now apply and you should see larger characters.  

And this flow should work as well:

1. Close the alignment editor (saving any .sdlalign file as required)
2. Adjust the settings under Options - Editor - Font Adaptation.
3. Re-open the alignment/.sdlalign file. The settings should now apply and you should see the larger characters.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

In other words - you adapt the alignment font size through the same settings as in the translation editor - through File - Options - Editor - Font Adaptation.

Excellent - that worked great. Thanks for the explanation.

Excellent
