What’s new in Trados Enterprise – Q3 2022 round-up

As Trados Enterprise is agile and cloud-based, users benefit from the continuous delivery of new innovations and features. And, with updates being deployed to the platform multiple times a day, three months sees major evolution. 

 

We want to keep you up to date with the developments of Trados Enterprise, so here’s the first of our quarterly round-ups of just some of the latest updates. These are automatically available to our Trados Enterprise customers as and when they are released. 

 

Further details on all our enhancements to Trados Enterprise can be found in the RWS Community. 

 

 

Improving the localization workflow is at the heart of Trados Enterprise. The new workflow editor introduced in 2021 frees up huge amounts of time by making it easy to customize and automate your workflows. We continue to make enhancements to workflow functionality, including multiple outcomes for human workflow tasks. This new feature provides greater flexibility when designing workflows that include branching or looping elements, with the ability to specify up to four additional custom outcomes for human tasks. 

 

 

Trados Enterprise is optimized for everyone, with role-specific interfaces. We know Project Managers spend a lot of time in their TMS, which is why we have released many new features to make Project Managers’ lives easier. For example, we have now made it simpler to work with projects that have many tasks by introducing a new list view on the project details screen. When switching to the new list view, all bulk actions that are available from the stages view still apply.  

 

Other enhancements for Project Managers include:

 

 

The customer portal provides a simplified, seamless process for requestors to create, track and retrieve translation projects. We have recently deployed several new updates for the customer portal which allow users to: 

 

 

Among a host of enhancements to the user experience, one of the most important is a significant increase in file types that can be previewed in real-time. We now support more than 20 file-type previews in total. The latest real-time preview in the online editor is the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) in-context preview, which is now available for all users of the AEM connector. This enables in-context preview in the online editor during the translation and review process. 

 

Other enhancements to the online editor include support for quickly placing any elements from the source into the target segment – no matter if they are tags, acronyms, terms, formatting, or any other item.

 

 

 

Trados Enterprise includes easy, secure terminology management. Our terminology management capability now has a new entry history feature. In each entry, Trados Enterprise will now indicate who created an entry, term, or field, as well as when it was created and last modified.  

 

We have also introduced smart handling to avoid duplicate terms when adding new entries. This means that users can now decide what should happen when they add a term that already exists in the termbase in the same language, while still maintaining control over the creation of separate entries for homonyms where required.

 

 

 

To help you create effective end-to-end processes across your business, we’ve delivered dozens of API improvements. The Public API provides an already rich feature set, and new functionality is being added to the API all the time. During this quarter, we have made over 20 API enhancements and full details on the API enhancements are available here.

 

We hope you have enjoyed this quarterly round-up and remember to look out for the next round-up in January!
