How to set target segment maximum length equal to source segment length?

Hi all

I'm translating a software with strings where the target maximum length has to be equal or less to the length of the source segment.
The package was sent by the customer but I'd like to define this criteria other wise I've to check all lengths one by one and there are 83.000 segments!!

Thanks for your help!!!!

    Not that complicated at all. Go to your Project settings (NOT File -> Options!) and use this:

    Trados Studio Project Settings window showing Segments Verification options under QA Checker 3.0, with settings for forgotten translations, segment length, and forbidden characters.

    This is all you need. You can change the severity of the message from "Note" to "Warning" or "Error" according to your preference.
