    The Studio uninstall process automatically deletes the Windows file associations. Often, when a user uninstalls a previous version of Studio, this leads to the situation that Windows does not anymore recognize the file associations (.SDLXLIFF, SDLPPX...

    When creating projects, you probably don't need all the different "flavours". It would be a good idea to have a way for customizing the list (just keeping what you need).

  • Provide word count report by reading segment status and match values

    • Idea Delivered Partially

    Studio does not provide word count reports based on segment status and match values. I believe TMS and Passolo can provide word count reports based on segment status and match values without having TMs where all the TM matches originated from. This...

    • 5 Comments
    Occasionally, we are asked to translate only certain sections of a text. One solution is to convert the text that is not to be translated to hidden text in the Word file (for example). However, I think it is usually safer to make as few changes in...

    There seems to be no easy way to easily add a single translation unit to a TM; plenty of forums exist where users have vented their frustration at this and have needed to suggest workarounds which really shouldn't be necessary (a T-Window plug-in or to...

    Now, a code like RB_45/R1 is not recognized like 1 placeable because the character '/' splits the recognition. I'd like a way to setup using a regex rule supporting this kind of recognition. This could be done or using the 'Variable' or an extra option...

    Hi guys, If possible, it would be very nice for an export / import settings button for all Studio settings. Much like the function from File->Options-> Verification-> QA Checker 3.0 -> QA Checker Profiles This would make us more sure that...

    I would like to be able to view the context of my TM and Concordance Search results . This would improve its use. There are several reasons for this: The same sentence can be translated differently because of its context. I often join very short...

    Hi, 1. I would really appreciate if I was able to pin the Search and Replace Dialog in Studio, or at least keep it over any other window. Ideally, floatting and pinable at the same time. I often use that dialog, and it happens I forget to close...

    After importing a return package, I have to manually look for and activate the respective project from my project list. It would be helpful if the project would be activated automatically after importing a package.
