Hi Samuel Baldus,

Can you please give me more details about what you are trying to achieve and the steps you are doing? 

What I've tried:

1. On the active project I have set a server based tm
2. I get the project programatically and I ran the pre-translate
3. No error appear using code bellow

var projectsController = SdlTradosStudio.Application.GetController<ProjectsController>();
var activeProject = projectsController?.CurrentProject;
var targetFiles = activeProject.GetTargetLanguageFiles(new Language(new CultureInfo("de-de")));
var result = activeProject.RunAutomaticTask(targetFiles.GetIds(), AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PreTranslateFiles);

Kind reagrds,

Andrea Ghisa

This is my code:

This is my error (within the sdlproj file):
