  • Enable setting deadlines at the individual file level

    • Under Community Review
    • 2 Comments
    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.
  • Subscribe to Community Knowledge Base to get notified about new issues

    In our tests of new SDL releases, so far, we only found out about new bugs when they cause issues during our tests. If we were automatically notified whenever SDL publishes the info on a new bug and maybe even provides a temporary workaround until a fix...
  • Allow Tag Verifier to treat tags with different ID as different tags and detect such mismatch

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    Please see the attached screenshot. Tags in segment 364, 369, and 372 are mismatched in Tag ID mode between source and target. However, Trados Studio's Tag Verifier cannot detect it (while Xbench can). According to Studio support: When processing...
  • Make default quality check setting available in project templates

    • Under Community Review

    At the beginning of project creation I have the possibility to force quality check when finalizing the project. This setting however is not available in the project template editor, and can only be changed by updating the template from an existing project...
  • Group all translation resources in one place

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Hi! In the project wizard, I think it would be a good idea to have all translation resources in one place (TMs, Autosuggest Dictionaries, Termbases and PerfectMatch files). By the way, I never understood why AS dictionaries where "hidden"...
  • Font size for comments

    • In Progress
    • 33 Comments
    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...
  • Add a column with the name of the TM used in the Translation Results window.

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    I saw a similar idea that talked about MT engines used in the Translation Results window. I think that's a great idea, being able to see at a glance the origin of all matches without having to click specifically in each of them. However, I wanted to expand...
  • Default path for return packages

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    Hi, When one creates a return package, the default path that appears in the dialog box is often the path where the last project's return package was stored. Therefore, it is easy to send inadvertently the new return package to that wrong former destination...

    Dear Community, We often work with TM clean up requests based on updates to terminology and/or style guides. We use this plugin here: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/file-type-definition-for-tmx/317/ We love that we can work directly with...

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 3 Comments
    I would like to propose a display filter for Studio in which source = target. In most cases, these have been created inadvertently and therefore it would be great if you could plainly see if there are any such segments in a file. Sometimes we receive...
