  • Adobe XD file support

    Currently there is no file type filter that can process .XD files. It is possible to work on them using various workarounds nd file conversions, however they are time consuming. It would be great to have the ability to directly process them via Studio...
  • Studio window should not be lost in nirvana, after switching back from dual-screen mode to single-screen mode

    • Under Community Review

    At program startup, Studio should check window coordinates saved in the user profile against what is currently visible on the screen, before displaying the Studio window on the screen. I often switch back and forth from dual-screen mode to single-screen...
  • Integrate "Regex Match Autosuggest" with Studio

    • Under Community Review

    Similarly to "Record Source", I use this excellent app a lot. The problem is that because it's not integrated with Studio, but is just a plugin, it automatically doesn't recognize the language direction you're using. In consequence, when translating from...
  • A filter for "all first occurences". We now have "first occurences" but this applies only for the repetitions.

    We had a big project with a lot of repetitions, but also some other text. It would be easy to have a standard filter for "ll first occurences". You can translate, check and only after that process open to all segements.

    Am I the only one who finds it barely readable? Also, I'm not sure if it is really useful for project managers currently. The timeline of the calendar is small and moved to the right, while it should be the central item of this view. Also It would make...

    Based on the fact that 90% of our support cases are based on issues with saving target file, I think it would make sense to automatically try to save the target file during the project preparation stage. Simply one of the 10(?) steps that are completed...

    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...
  • Hardcoded paths in the project settings cause problems for Groupshare Projects

    • Under Community Review

    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...
  • Verification window should also show segment number

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    The verification messages list should also have a column showing the segment numbers. Not just for sorting purposes, but also to avoid wasting time. For example, if based on the segment number I can see that two subsequent segments have issues, then I...

    Hello, As part of my job, I receive translation requests with files provided from an online software Under json format. The problem is that these files are multilingual and as a translator, I have to fill the language fields: "properties": { "name...
