Can Trados Studio 2019 open .ai or .cdr file formats?

Question

Dear all, 
 can you please tell me if Trados Studio 2019 can deal with .ai or .cdr file formats? Can I translate them directly? 
 Or what procedure should I take? 
 Thank you in advance.

 If you have a copy of Adobe Illustrator you can Export the *.ai file as a *.psd and then Studio can deal with it as we have a Photoshop filetype in the latest release. If yo don't and you'd like to test this feel free to send me your *.ai file and I'll do this for you to test. Or, just ask your customer to export as Photoshop PSD instead. 
 On the *.cdr. I believe this is Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator can also open these. So you may be able to take the same approach as for the *.ai files.

Hi , 
 These filetypes are not supported in Studio. Please feel free to check all the file formats compatible with Trados Studio in this link:

 Hope it helps!

Test the SysFilter for CDR. Working directly with proper format is always a plus. And in my experience the filter did its job properly: polmannshop.com/.../24-sysfilter-for-coreldraw-12-x7.html
