  • Studio verification - multiple spaces

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    I like the verification task that looks for multiple spaces. A frustration however is that the program (Studio 2017 and predecessors) counts certain tags (typically in-line graphics, references, etc.) as a space, generating many false notifications for...

    As originally reported in https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/90/t/14508 For server-based TMs, the "Delete Translation Memory" context menu item is right underneath the "Remove From List" item, which makes way too easy...

  • Prevent hidden text from being imported as internal tags in Word 2007-2016 filter

    Marking text as "Hidden" in Microsoft Word prior to adding a file into a Trados Studio project used to be a convenient way to mark specific sections of the text as "not for translation" in a manner that was easy to revert later. Using the Word 2007-2013...

    Dear Community, We handle a lot of e-learning content from Articulate suite of products. Unfortunately, embedded HTML tags are represented as <g> tags, all of which become inline tags in SDLXLIFF. I understand the parser behavior is based on the specification...

    Hi, It would be good if it was possible to exclude locked segments from being added to TMs during update TM batch tasks. This option could be added under "Segment Status". Quite often these segments are locked by the client and we often see that...

    Hi, This is something devs should be able to set easily as from what I know it should only be a switch from ON to OFF in laucher settings (at least for Windows). Although my PC is very performant it still takes some time for Trados to launch. I use...

    Hi, in the view create new project where you can select "create project based on previous project" it would be good if the projects would be ordered by name and not by last added so that it would be easier to find the one you are looking for. ...

    • 5 Comments
    Hello, We currently need to deactivate the "Acronym" setting for 2000 or so SDLTMs and it seems there is no batch edit option for such an operation. It would be really useful to have a batch edit mode for TM settings in order to be able to optimize...

    • 0 Comments
    This idea is directed to the developers of Trados software, who are probably not translators themselves. Make the option to choose the correct type of quotation marks (English, French, Dutch, German etc) available for all file types, without excluding...

    I miss the possibility to tag or pin one or more projects in the Projects view. Sometimes I have to pause working on a large project to finish several minor projects and it can be tricky to find the large project again in the Projects window. It could...
