Scaling for 4k in 2022

I just upgraded from Trados Studio 2021 Freelance Plus to 2022 Freelance Plus. Unfortunately, 2022 STILL doesn't support 4k resolution (how is this possible in 2022?), and the third-party "Change Scaling Behaviour" app in the appstore that fixed the problem has not been updated for 2022. Does anyone know a solution for this?

  • I have a suggestion that might improve your experience with Studio 2022 on a 4K display. Below are the settings that I used for my end for a 4k screen. This is not perfect, but for now it seems to be working rather fine.

    You need to right click your Trados icon, choose Properties and then go straight to the Compatibility tab. There select the following setting (sorry, my Windows is in Polish, but you should be able to find the corresponding option in your system as well):

    Compatibility settings window for Trados Studio 2022 showing 'Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 8' selected.

    AND also select the "Change high resolution DPI settings" (or something similar in English) to look like that (Replace high resolution DPI scaling and choose System).

    High DPI settings window for SDLTradosStudio.exe with 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' checked and scaling performed by 'System'. 

    Then apply changes, do not change anything in the last setting "for all users". Just accept and restart your system (this step is important; without restarting my Studio began doing weird things scaling-wise). Now my Studio looks like that with proper scaling and no blurring. I really hope this helps Slight smile

    I started to suppose, that possibly using Studio on localised Windows versions other than English or German in my case might be a cause for problems. None of the problems you describe appear here. And I do work and prepare projects at the same time. Currently I work on a project with two memoQ files of over 65k words in total. No crashes at all.

    And I never changed any such settings which you show here.

  • That is an interesting point. If that were the case, that would be... concerning. I do hope, however, that this is SDL/RWS-related problem, not a Microsoft one ;).

    This is not the first time, that someone with Polish Windows is reporting massive problems with various versions of Studio. I have seen many such claims on Facebook before I left the corresponding groups. As a really heavy user of Studio I nearly never could reproduce such behavior on my various machines over the years. And I use German Windows since ever... Same for the Studio 2022 now. Even the betas do behave, although these do crash more often than production versions (as they are beta and I am testing them to help make them more robust). Of course Studio produces more error messages than for example Word. But the TO3000 version 11 (not 3D) crashes more frequently here (sometimes several times per day), so following the usual trend I'd suppose this software is worse than Studio. There are also other programs crashing, but TBH I do not experience big problems with any software used here.
