Is there a way to auto-fix the source column width in the exported bilingual file?

Dear Studio 2015 users,

For some reason the bilingual files I export for the editor always have source text column much narrower than the target text column.  I don't know what causes this, but it's a little inconvenient for me to manually adjust the source column before sending the file to the editor.  Is there a setting somewhere in Studio that I can adjust to fix this trivial issue?

Thank you for your help!

  • Hi Chunyi,

    I haven't noticed this problem, but if it's significantly smaller can you share an sdlxliff with me that does this and I'll share this with development to see what can be done in the future. Maybe it's language dependent? There is no user setting for this.

    I guess you could just not adjust the width at all and pass the instruction onto your client? I'd have thought most users will be comfortable enough in Word to adjust the column width before they start work... wouldn't they?
