    Large files are supposed to be pre-processed and split outside Studio, before converting them to sdlxliffs. However, in many cases you can't really guess something until the translation takes part - it would make sense to allow splitting the file even...

    Some of us have trouble to see very small font sizes, like comments. There should be a way to make it bigger. Generally speaking, anything that could be done to make Trados visually comfortable would be nice. Please note I use Trados 2021 and I have...

    Many users get confused when they need to add new files to an existing project. Switching the language to source language, running the Prepare for translation batch task etc. This really should be a one click operation (maybe with tiny option to run the...

    The XLIFF file type filter is by default retaining any translator comment in the generated target file which is not always desirable and resulted in a client complaint due an import failure when the translator's comments were retained in the delivered...

    Clients often send packages with multiple files, each with a different deadline. Currently, we can only set deadlines at the project level. It would be very useful to be able to enter deadlines at the file level as well.

    Since the introduction of the new icons for SDL Trados Studio and SDL MultiTerm, the appearance of both icons is quite similar as they are both using greenish colours. This is sometimes confusing when you have both programs open with both icons side to...

    Hi! I think the Cancel button in the Project Wizard is very frustrating. It should work instantly. Instead, it can take literally ten minutes. For me, Cancel is either "Oops, I forgot something", or "This is way too long, there must be something wrong...
