Cons	Translation filters Interface Usability Incentivized Daniela Coelho Professional Linguist Read full review	Selection of multiple segments is not possible (you can select multiple segments that are following each other by holding down the shift key but not randomly selected segments by holding the Ctrl key or so). Make it easier to use filter configurations of a file already used in a project when adding a new file of the same type. Incentivized WP Wim Peys Project Manager Read full review
