    I often have the problem that, when e.g. translating from Italian or any other inflecting language, that plural or other inflected forms of nouns, verbs etc. are not being found. Example: The word "finestra" will be found but the plural form "finestre...

    I think it would be nice to be able to apply different colours for different term statuses in MultiTerm, eg green for Approved , red for Forbidden , etc. Also to have these colours showing in the Term Recognition window in Studio. Just as a quick additional...

    I still don't understand why in the 21st century, it's impossible for SDL to include a slider for fast scrolling of terms in a Termbase. That's why, it's my idea to include it finally. Come on!

    I think it's high time it was made possible to add terms to specific termbases (with keyboard shortcuts) , on the fly. Many other CAT tools currently support this, and I would love to see this functionality added to the latest version of Trados Studio...
  • Multiterm Extract should be able to process sdlxliff and sdltm files

    Hello, it would be great to get the same behavior we know from uploading TMs to uploading TBs. Now if I upload a TB into GS, I need to use SDL MT Desktop - this process is very timeconsuming (even 4 hours for 22K entries) and cannot be interrupted....
