  • Automatic conversion of units in addition to localisation

    • 4 Comments
    Trados 2007 used to have the ability to convert units as well as localize them. So go from inches to centimetres for example, or GBP to Euros. This feature was actually removed because of a lot of adverse feedback from users where rounding errors and...

    If we have been translating an important amount of content for a given client but we did not segment properly for some of the source files at some point in the past, we have now bad segmented TM while the new source files are being segmented properly...

  • Change the naming convention of the Reports

    By default all reports have the same names, and the most recent one is added on top, but it requires a click to display them. In many cases it can be misleading and confusing with several reports sharing the same name. My idea is simple - add a timestamp...

  • Create project termbases (similar to project TMs)

    • 4 Comments
    In case you are handling translation projects with very large termbases, it can be useful to extract a project termbase, so that only the terms that appear in the content for translation are available for the translator. With this, there is no hassle...

  • A fully customizable empty ribbon to get all necessary commands one needs every day - instead of changing ribbons

    Ribbons in Studio are quite good. But as advanced user I would like to have just one ribbon for me - where I could put these parts together which I need every day. For example I would need "change segment status" and "display filter" together in one...

    I, for one, am a frequent user of Search and Replace. An interesting feature that Word possesses and Trados does not, is the possibility of intelligent capitalization in Search and Replace. Let me explain and give you an example if you get the idea. ...

    Just a short field in the bottom right section of the screen showing how may segments you have picked. It could be really helpful. I was just doing some searches in a tricky client and this feature would have been great, if available Cheers, ...

  • Compressing of TM after batch delete exercises

    Paul
    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    Currently if you batch delete a lot of segments from your TM the physical size won't change at all. This is because we don't run the " vacuum " feature when carrying our maintenance tasks on an SDLTM. I think it would be a good idea if we added this to...

    Morning, Would it be possible any automation to create a button in upper ribbon that can be customised to trigger a batch task WITHOUT any disruption other than eventually saving the current opened files? I mean triggering an "Analyze" batch task...

    While the user can customize the font size (and many other cosmetic or accessibility feautures) everywhere in Studio, surprisingly, it is impossible to do it in the comment edition box : It is sometimes difficult to write or read in it. It should...
