    SDL Trados Studio should show the translator's stats on its homepage, once the user opens the software. Suggested stats are, but not limited to: - Number of translated words in <year>/<month> etc. - Number of translated words that week - Historical...
  • termbase view options

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • Return doesn't segment the sentences for Excel source

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 4 Comments
    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.
  • Show a warning, if the source file is bigger than 20 MB

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 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...

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 23 Comments
    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...

    Hello, Every version of Studio, including the 2017 one, include, on the Translation Memories tab, First Page, Previous Page and Next Page buttons, but none offer a Last Page one as well, which would be very useful. Sincerely, Sophie Di Carlo, trad...
  • Integrate "Regex Match Autosuggest" with Studio

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • 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...

    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...

    Sometime splitting or merging segments is not enough and the order of the segments needs to be changed to make the translation work. Otherwise you have to create weird workarounds, such us splitting the source to create an empty source segments etc. That...
