    Hi, sometimes it would be nice if we could tell Trados not to add a space after certain segments when reverting to source file format. Quite often you get poorly prepared/segmented files from a client and in some target languages you have a concatenation...

    SDL Trados Studio is lacking an important feature which is recognizing Think Cell elements on MS Power Point. Once you save the target, you discover that those elements are left without translation and you have to do translate them manually. It will be...

    I believe it would make sense to have an option to quickly display the fragment of the source document, but without any file settings applied - just the raw fragment of the source file around the current segment. Sometimes it brings additional information...

    Hi, Could you please please add an option to deactivate the automatic installation of a desktop shortcut when installing/updating Trados Studio/Multiterm? It's quite nagging to remove the desktop shortcut everytime Trados gets an update. Not everyone...

    It would be empowering for the user to be able to steer which file format definitions are developed or updated by having a crowd sourcing platform. If a user suggests the development or update of a file format definition, SDL could estimate the cost ...

    When this option is activated, the respective segment is not only assigned the symbol for "Translated", but is also automatically written into the TM that is set as "Update". This behaviour is not obvious, but the option should rather be called "Confirm...

    Snippet (.flsnp) files are commonplace in Madcap Flare, Studio 2017 should really support these. I have a workaround of entering *.flsnp into the File Dialog wildcard expression field (so that Studio can then recognise the snippet files as translatable...

    One of our vendors uses a Macintosh machine for translation projects with Trados Studio. Mac is not quite "Studio friendly", but they have found a workaround to use it. The problem is when we add GroupShare to the equation: they can download and work...

    Hi! Identical regex matches/repetitions cannot be carried out in batch mode such that an identical (terminology) error can be corrected across various segments (such as AutoPropagate). The advanced display filter and search/replace function should be...

    Hi, Who does not know the problem. The source segment contains an error you want to tell the client about or you need source string for some form you need to fill in for the client e.g. for a QA. Now you would need to activate source segment, make...
