    For some clients we work with large file-based termbases and a lot of target languages on a regular basis. When creating project packages, Trados Studio includes the entire termbase with all target languages instead of creating smaller termbases that...

    For the Excel source, returns (new lines) are recognized as spaces, and several sentences are included in one segment. It would be nice if the sentences are segmented by return.

    • 4 Comments
    Files bigger than 20 MB will not be embedded in the sdlxliff and can cause "Dependence not found" errors even on your own computer. This error will mandatory appear, if such files are included in a project package, as the path to the source file is not...

    Several Batch Tasks like "Export to Bilingual Review", "Update from Bilingual Review" and "Export files" use hardcoded paths in the project settings. This causes problems with Groupshare projects, as these paths generally do not exist on all PCs. SDL...

    Let's assume we have some heavy pre-processing to do against a large number of files. It would make sense to allow Studio to run in a special mode, where files would be processed in the background, while user could continue to work in the editor. The...
