About

Trados Studio 2019 introduced "Tell Me" which is a great feature for finding features in Studio. But there is also an API with this allowing developers to add to the "Tell Me" functionality with other useful things.


The QuickInfo plugin does just that by extending the default "Tell Me" functionality to provide various useful bits of information such as unit conversion, maths calculation, airport codes, Unicode description and more.


The plugin is also opensouorced providing a great tool for other developers as they can see how this functionality is used, or even contribute to this one with new bits of helpful information to extend its usefulness.

Studio Subtitling

By Trados AppStore Team

The Problem this app addressesThe volume of audio visual content for localization is growing rapidly. Turnaround times are getting shorter and many of those working in the industry are feeling increased price pressures in dealing with this sort of content. Translation tools today lack proper context for subtitlers, offering poor support for the variety of file formats.The Solution this app providesThe Studio Subtitling plugin supports enhanced features for audio visual translation, editing, proofing and works synchronously with the Studio editor in support of the following filetypes:- ASS (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SRT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- webVTT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- STL (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SBV (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- TTML (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)NOTE:The plugin does not work with single document projects, resulting in errors. To use it properly, you need to create standard projects.It is not possible to use the numpad for non-subtitling files if this plugin is installed. This is a limitation of Studio. The workaround is to remove the keyboard shortcuts for numpad in the Studio options. They can be reset when needed by using "Reset to Defaults" in the Subtitling Keyboard shortcut list.Click here to download the TQA model for Trados Studio that is also supported by this plugin.
