- No other CAT tool supports more file types than we do, and our commitment to growing this number is another reflection of how we cater to the unique needs of our clients. We don’t support just the most common file types used for a majority of projects, but also those required for more niche needs.
- Some file types are supported through apps available from the integrated RWS AppStore. For example, the Studio Subtitling app is ideal for those who want to serve this growing area of translation. It not only supports a variety of audio, video and subtitle file formats, but real-time previews, timing controls, and video-specific verification checks and quality assurance.

We can’t possibly cover all the developments we’ve made for Trados Studio 2024, but here are a few highlights of changes specifically designed to give you greater flexibility and choice in how you work.
New Reports view for greater flexibility
If you want more speed and flexibility than thestandard Reports view offers, then the Reports Viewer Plus app is the ideal solution. It speeds up the way reports render and lets you edit report names, group them differently, adapt the way they look through stylesheets, and include reports (XML files) from other tools, among other capabilities. Like all of our apps, it’s available from the RWS AppStore, accessible directly from Studio.
Improvements to Editor and Files views
Trados Studio 2026 Release continues to improve the Editor and Files views with faster performance, improved usability and enhanced productivity features that help translators complete projects more efficiently.
- Faster editor performance
- Improved terminology recognition
Better handling of large projects - Enhanced quality assurance
- Improved document navigation
- Greater workflow flexibility
We’ve also released a new studioViews app, which gives you greater flexibility in sending work to others. It lets you:
- Export a subset of segments in the editor view to a file, and reimport them back to the original file when returned – even if the segments have been restructured in the meantime
- Split or merge files from the files view, and re-merge split files when they’re returned
Terminology languages now equal to editing languages
- Enhanced terminology management provides more accurate term recognition and a smoother workflow for creating, managing and applying terminology across projects, helping ensure consistency and translation quality.
