Can't change font size in Translation Results window (Trados Studio 2024)

Hi,
I'm using Trados Studio 2024 (version 18.0.2.3255) and while I was able to enlarge the font size in the editor window by manually editing the UserSettings.xml file, there seems to be no way to increase the font size in the Translation Results pane (the TM window below or beside the editor).

Here's what I did for the editor:

xml
KopierenBearbeiten
<Setting Id="StandardSource_FontSizeSettings"> <FontSizeSettingsGroup AdaptFontSizes="True" MinFontSize="22" MaxFontSize="22" /> </Setting> <Setting Id="StandardTarget_FontSizeSettings"> <FontSizeSettingsGroup AdaptFontSizes="True" MinFontSize="22" MaxFontSize="22" /> </Setting>

That worked well for the segment editor – but it has no effect on the TM results panel.
I also tried increasing the font size via:

Options → Translation Memory View → Font Size = 30 pt

But this only affects TM maintenance mode – not the Translation Results pane in the editor.

I’m working on a high-resolution screen, and this part of the interface is simply too small to read comfortably, even with Windows scaling or DPI tweaks.


QuestionFeature request / question:

  • Is there a way to enlarge the font size in the Translation Results window?

  • If not, could SDL/RWS please consider adding a zoom or font-size option for that panel?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hello Gérard

    Yes, you are right. That is exactly my problem. But:

    Everything was working fine until yesterday morning when I launched Trados. It started with the welcome screen that usually appears after an update or new installation – even though I didn’t trigger any update myself, and the update setting in Trados is set to "Manual".

    After that, the font size in both the Editor and the Translation Results window became extremely small. No matter what I changed under Options > Editor > Font Adaptation or Options > Translation Memory View (even setting the font size to 30), nothing changed – even after restarting Trados.

    I was eventually able to manually adjust the font size in the Editor by editing the UserSettings.xml file.

    In the same file, I also added the following section under DisplaySettings:

    xml
    Code kopieren
    <SettingsGroup Id="DisplaySettings"> <Setting Id="StandardSource_FontSizeSettings"> <FontSizeSettingsGroup AdaptFontSizes="True" MinFontSize="22" MaxFontSize="22" /> </Setting> <Setting Id="StandardTarget_FontSizeSettings"> <FontSizeSettingsGroup AdaptFontSizes="True" MinFontSize="22" MaxFontSize="22" /> </Setting> <Setting Id="TMMaintenanceSource_FontSizeSettings"> <FontSizeSettingsGroup AdaptFontSizes="True" MinFontSize="30" MaxFontSize="30" /> </Setting> <Setting Id="TMMaintenanceTarget_FontSizeSettings"> <FontSizeSettingsGroup AdaptFontSizes="True" MinFontSize="30" MaxFontSize="30" /> </Setting> </SettingsGroup>

    Unfortunately, these changes had no effect on the font size in the Translation Results window.
