Studio 2021

Flexibility to work wherever you are

The dynamic combination and flexibility offered by Studio 2021 and Trados Live will benefit everyone — from individual translators through to project managers running large teams.

Higher quality translations can be delivered faster as you can:
  • Translate, review and manage work on the Studio 2021 desktop app when you're in the office
  • Move to the cloud when it suits to control your projects on any device, such as a tablet, through Trados Live or the new Trados Live mobile app.

Thumbs up for emoji support

You’ll be ? with this new feature! Save time and ensure source and target text align, as Studio 2021 and Trados Live will now fully preserve emojis when you're translating. Emojis will show as placeholder tags in Studio 2021, and as the actual emoji character in the Trados Live Online Editor, so you can easily see where they appear in the text.

Enhanced support for Unicode 13 has also been introduced, with all used characters (according to the Unicode definition), now being preserved.
