FAQ

Is Trados Studio 2024 compatible with previous versions of Studio?

We offer full compatibility in terms of translation memory and bilingual files across Trados Studio 2024, 2022 and 2021. 
 
Although translation memories and bilingual files are compatible across Studio versions from 2009 to 2024, as we continue to add more features, there are potential discrepancies in feature availability, word counts and file types when working in older versions of Trados Studio. Some of the latest features, such as upLIFT, are only fully available in Studio 2017 and later. 
 
Please note: Trados Studio 2024 does not offer out-of-the-box support for legacy Trados file types, including ITD, TTX and Bilingual Workbench. If you are still working with these file types, please install the Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack app from the RWS AppStore. The app is installed as an add-on and will enable you to open and work with projects that include legacy file types. RWS recommends that you consider converting legacy file types to the latest .SDLXLIFF format.
