- General performance improvements in processing embedded content.
- Added safety checks to avoid "Null reference" errors when performing a batch search in translation memories. (LCC-11851)
- Encoded characters from hyperlinks in Word documents are no longer converted to their original value. This prevents possible issues in terms of localizability and adaptability and allows more freedom for regionalizing the URLs.
- Excel files now feature safety checks for sheet names to prevent accidental changes or errors caused by forbidden characters in the sheet name. (CRQ-23832)
Microsoft Word
- Fixed a bug that blocked Trados Studio from extracting text from textboxes in files that contained custom tags.(CRQ- 25162)
- The layout of the elements was not kept in some target files, for example, a picture no longer centered with the text. This was not a bug, but a settings misconfiguration. To ensure the layout of your elements is preserved go to File > Options > File Types > Microsoft Word 2007-2019 > Common and uncheck Skip advanced font formatting (tracking, kerning, etc). (CRQ-25007)
- Fixed an issue where pictures would not be visible in the target file. (CRQ-24794)
- Fixed a bug that caused not-tracked spaces around track changes to be carried as track changes in the target file when using a Right-To-Left language as target language. (CRQ-24361)
- Trados Studio would incorrectly add an extra space at the beginning of each paragraph in RTL languages. The issue is now fixed and the target file is correctly generated. (CRQ-24268)
MXLIFF
- Mapped Memsource specific properties for forward and backward conversion.
- Fixed "Null object reference" error when generating the preview. (LF-5412)
- Fixed Preview corruption when target segment is empty. (LF-5440, LF-5350)
- Added Internal and HTML preview for alternative translations. (LF-5355)
XLIFF
- Trados Studio now displays a message when there are no alternative translations for preview (LF-5598)
- Fixed "Null object reference" error that occurred in some files with custom tags. (CRQ-25032)
HTML
- Fixed an issue that displayed question marks (?) in the preview instead of the translated content when working with Chinese as target language. (LF-5539, CRQ-24392)
XML
- Fixed issues that occurred in XML files when processing embedded CDATA with HTML 5 content processor. (CRQ-24946, CRQ-24950)

MarkDown
- Fixed issue when parsing image markup with specific link format, containing "%". (LF-5499)
Subtitles
- Trados Studio 2021 SR2 expands the Subtitles filter to include support for Timed Text Markup Language (TTML). TTML is an XML-based standard for timed text in online media, generally used as subtitles or captions.
- Updated language attribute in target languages for *.VTT files. (LF-5455)
IDML
- Fixed an issue that prevented Trados Studio from adding translated hyperlinks in the target file if the hyperlinks were added on objects. (CRQ-24537)
- Fixed issues where Trados Studio would fail to save target content if the target file contained missing closing tags. (CRQ-24415, CRQ-24496)
