  • Editor : allow odd font sizes

    Hello! In Studio 2022, in the editor configuration, font sizes can only be adjusted in increments of 2 : font sizes 10, 12, 14, and so on. Sometimes, size 14 is too big and size 12 is too small. It would be nice to also have the "odd" font sizes...
  • AutoSuggest: MultiTerm entries first and then other entries

    • Under Community Review

    Currently, the sorting does not differ between the source of auto suggested texts. However, this makes finding MT entries often not so easy. So it would be very useful to have the MT entries suggested first and then all the others.
  • Retain source comments untranslated in target generated files

    Hi everyone! We have come to a project where the comments from the source Word file didn't need to be translated but kept in the target file and we learned that this cannot be done anymore (it seems it was a feature back in Studio 2017). We discovered...
  • Excluding a given segment from auto-propagation

    • Under Community Review
    • 26 Comments
    Hi everybody, I am a huge fan of auto-propagation, but it happens I want to exclude a given segment from the auto-propagation, because the context requires I translate it differently of other like segments. In practice, I would like to be able to translate...
  • Provide shortcut for direct term insertion

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 1 Comment
    Currently, one needs to start typing in order to see the term suggestions. The old functionality of ALT+arrow keys appears defunct. It would be useful if we could still use it to enter terms. I.e. ALT+down arrow to enter current term, ALT+ right arrow...

    This could be an extra option in Translation memory settings > Language resources > Recognize group and should apply to any word excluding the first word of the segment (or that could be a suboption). It is already implemented from time immemorial in...

    ファイルビューに、直接入力できるコメント列があればと思います。 ファイルについての注意事項や残タスクなどをコメントとして入力できれば、作業中にコメントを参照して自分や他のメンバーにリマインドすることができ、便利ではないかと思います。

    Fear of upgrading the Studio to a newer version is quite common. This is mainly because of issues with licensing (deactivating and activating licenses) and moving resources. There is the Migration assistant, but it does not solve the problem for less...
  • Please make Trados Studio (desktop application) evolve into an “error-free“ software.

    • Under Community Review
    • 0 Comments
    Currently, Trados Studio 2024 (desktop application) still generates various error messages during use. Translators do not have the time to report these errors each time they occur. Interestingly, almost every “error” can already be found as previously...

    Studio is perfect when we need to hide the technical content of a complicated documents. In most cases translator could accidentally edit the part of code, which need to remain unchanged. However, there are many cases where entity names, labels, key names...
