    A Trados project has sub-folders, like so: When you want to create a package, it currently presents itself has individual files, which is a problem when you have say 15 sub-folders with a total of 75 files. It would be ideal if there was the possibility...

    Project preparation phase is usually taking a while (for obvious reasons), so it would make sense to offer an option to automatically extract terminology from the source document and instantly create a termbase with it, adding it to project settings....

    Often I have ideas about how software could be better whilst I am actually using it. It would be great to have a link from the software that allowed creation and submission of an idea as you thought about it.

    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...

    Problem: When translating files with locked segments you currently need to check manually if some segments to be translated have been forgotten as you will never reach a 100%-level in the Progress display, either in the file view nor in the status bar...

    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...

    Exporting unknown segments works really great for huge projects containing massive legacy matches so you can work "lighter" in "fresh" xliff files, but importing those results back to your original project is not really that straightforward... Could...

    The option “Show most recent translations first” in the Search settings in Studio only applies to results from the same TM. When there are several TMs, the Translation Results and Concordance Search will show a hit from the first TM at the top, even...

    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...

    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, ...
