How do I post a question in the "Studio Delevopers Q & A" forum?

Dieter Mustermann — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 16:16:05 GMT

Dear Community,

I have a question about the Trados API that I would like to post in the "Studio Delevopers Q & A" forum. However, I don't see a way to do this as there is no "+ New" button in the top right corner.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Dieter

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply!

However, there is no red bar at the bottom. When I am not logged in, it is there, but as soon as I am logged in, it is no longer visible. And as soon as I switch to "Trados Studio Developers" forum, I don't see any possibility to ask a question.

Am I missing something?

Thanks and best regards,
Dieter

RE: Developer License

Jon Lee — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 00:57:12 GMT

Understood. Yes, I already have a licence for Studio.

Many thanks for the reply.

Developer License

Jon Lee — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 06:40:24 GMT

Hi there.

This is a basic question, but just to clarify, is it necessary to obtain a developer license in order to build a third party plugin?

If so, is the license free or is there a fee?

The plug-in would be for Trados Studio 2019 Professional and would be for internal use only.

Best regards,

Jon

If you already have a licence for Studio then you don’t need a specific developer licence.

I moved your post - better to ask dev questions in the right forum.

Hi all,

I can't find the SDL Trados SDK download link. "https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/articles/gettingstarted/setting_up_a_developer_machine.html" links me to the developer hub but the link doesn't work.

Creating a new file-based translation memory form an existing translation memory via the API?

Daniel García Magariños — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 18:33:33 GMT

Hiya,

I have a bunch of file-based translation memories with customized language resource settings (segmentation rules, custom date and time formats, etc.).

I would like to create new empty file-based translation memories based on each of those existing translation memories.

In Studio, I would just open each of the translation memories and use the ·"New translation memory from".

As I have quite a few, I would rather automate the process.

I was looking at the SDK and I could not find any method create a TM based on an existing TM, using the var tm = new FileBasedTranslationMemory(....)

It seems as if one would have to open the existing TM, loop through the required settings to read them and then create new blank TM and provide the settings read from the other TM as parameters.

Isn't there a more straightforward approach? Something like "CreateTMbasedOnAnotherTM (newTMpath, OldTMPath) or similar. Just something to clone a TM easily.

I guess I could automatically make a copy of those TMs and automatically delete all translation units but there is bug in file-based in which TUs are not really deleted and the file size remains large even after deleting all TUs.

Thanks!

Daniel

Hello Daniel García Magariños

After you had a chance to try this, please come back and tell us how it went.

Thank you very much!

Dear Emanuel,

Thanks for your message and for confirming that this is not possible out-of-the-box from the API. Thanks also for providing the sample code to achieve this reading the language resources and importing. I will give it a go. I was wondering what we would have to read the original TM and your code provides exactly that.

Hello Daniel García Magariños !

You are right, when you're creating a new TM based on the old one and delete all the TUs, the file size remains the same.

The solution is to create a TM from scratch and add to it all the language resources from the other. Here's a sample on how to do that.

Dear all,

How are the context IDs that appear in TMX exports as <prop type="x-Context">numeric value, numeric value</prop> calculated?

(TuContext.LeftSource and TuContext.LeftTarget)

Thanks for your help.

SDL Trados plugin development

Nadia Kuzheeva — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 09:06:55 GMT

Hello to all,

We are an IT company and wish to develop a plugin for Trados Studio. I have two questions :

Once the plugin is developed, should it be approved by SDL for being used by our freelance translators around the world who have Studio ?
If we develop it with 2019 SDK, will the plugin be compatible with Studio 2017 and 2021 ? If not, what needs to be done to upgrade the plugin to the future versions of Trados ?

Thank you so much for your help. Have a very nice day !

Developping a Plugin for Trados

Dominique Marty Senet — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 08:59:07 GMT

We are IT company and would like to develop a plugin for Trados Studio 2019. I have two questions :

- once the plugin is done, can we send it to all our freelance translators around the world who are using Trados ? will they have problems with installing and using it ? does the plugin have to be approved by SDL ?

- if the plugin is developed for Studio 2019, will we be able to use it in previous or later versions of Trados ? If not, is it complicated to upgrade out plugin in order for it to be compatible with future Trados versions ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Submit SDL plugin

Norbert Grabowski — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 05:50:58 GMT

Hello,

I wrote an SDL plugin for SDL Studio and I want to submit it to the AppStore. I did everything I needed, I think. I filled in an icon, description, support and uploaded the necessary documents, such as manual and screenshot. The only thing missing is the plugin itself (LookUp4Trados.sdlplugin). If I upload this, I get an error message: File type not allowed. Do I have to do something with it beforehand?

Norbert Grabowski

We've sent you two emails now because we cannot access the location you placed the file. suggested you just put into the appstore and we can take it from there as admins, sign it and put it back. Then we can tell you when it's done in case you need to make any more changes to the record bfore we publish it.
