    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...

    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...

    please try to make the view more user friendly by allowing hits from the primary termbase to show first, then followed by a separator line, then terms coming from the secondary termbase, and so on, just in case a translator is using multiple termbases...

    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.

    Hello! When editing a segment, it would be fantastic if Studio could hide all the tags and guess where they should be when pressing Ctrl+Enter. We would then have to check if the position is right. I think this could be done using UpLift and Segment...

    I Know there is an app works only with a file based TM file, but n o volunteer has come forward and create one for server-based TM. So it would be useful if SDL create a feature that support both.
