We want to publish a new version of our AppSTore product. The supported products drop-down is incomplete and doesn't show the new "Passolo 2022" product. Can someone at RWS please fix it?

TP integration with Azure DevOps Server/Team Foundation Server

Manuel Hörmann — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:05:16 GMT

Hi!

Are there any integrated solutions available for https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/server/ (previously known as Team Foundation Server) regarding Passolo and/or Studio?

Can files be synchronized/managed (automatically) between development and translation management/localization system? If so, how could this be done/look like?

Thanks for your feedback!

Best regards,
Manuel

Calling methods CPAIStringList.GetProperty and CPAIStringList.GetResFile from .NET

Jonathan Gilmore — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 22:32:16 GMT

I am using Passolo Pro 2018 and the Passolo .NET SDK.

I am creating an export add-in and have trouble call methods

CPAIStringList.GetProperty()
CPAIStringList.GetResFile()

I tried calling CPAIStringList.GetProperty() and CPAIStringList.GetResFile() from my IPAINetExportWriter.Write() method.

var sourceFile = stringList.GetProperty("SLPROP_SOURCEFILE"); //did not work

var sourceFile = stringList.GetProperty("65535"); //did not work

what string should I pass into the stringList.GetProperty method.

I also tried calling CPAIStringList.GetResFile()

stringList.GetResFile(Addin, enmResFileStoreType.SourceList, "MCCADRes"); // did not work

I am not sure what string I should pass in for the last parameter. Below is a screen shot of my Passolo Project I am using with the export add-in

Passolo SDK Enumerate source assembly (exe, dll)

Jonathan Gilmore — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 22:16:04 GMT

I am using Passolo Pro 2018 and the Passolo .NET SDK. I am creating an export add-in.

I can’t figure out how to enumerate the assemblies (exe, dll) and resource dlls using the SDK like Passolo does.

In Passolo, I could see the folder path and file name of the assemblies. (see screen shot)

How could I do this using the SDK?

I would like to get this information for all the sources so I could read some custom binary data without creating another add-in.

Can Achim Herrmann help here?

Reading Binary Resources with Passolo Export Addin

Jonathan Gilmore — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 13:19:48 GMT

I am using Passolo Pro 2018 and I am writing an export Addin. I have an MFC project build with VS2017 and it contains a custom binary resource “SYMBOLIC_RESOURCE_IDS”. If I enable Extract other binary resources on the project in Passolo my export Addin sees the resource and could process the data. The problem is when I enable that project setting it also make binary resources that I do not want to see visible like PNG and AFX_DIALOG_LAYOUT.

Is there a way to have my export Addin see only the custom binary resource I want without making the others visible?
Is it possible to enable the project setting in the SDK (Export other binary resources) read the custom binary resource then disable the project setting?
Do I need to also write a parser Adding to accomplish this? I would rather not have to write a parser Addin

Below is a scree shot of the project setting and resources in Passolo

The first 3 (PNG, AFX_DIALOG_LAYOUT,SYMBOLIC_RESOURCE_IDS) . resources show once the setting is enabled I only want SYMBOLIC_RESOURCE_IDS

I am using Passolo SDK 2018. How do you configure the CPAIExportOptions filters?

Jonathan Gilmore — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 21:42:58 GMT

I am working on an export plugin and I would like to present the user with the exports options and I have the following questions.

1) I see there is a CPAIExportOptions.TokenInFilter method, but how do you configure what is in the filter in using the SDK?

2) I see in the Passolo UI when using an export plugin you have the options to write

all strings
or all strings and deleted strings

How can you configure this using the SDK?

3) Is there a way to get only deleted strings or string in the Passolo trash bin using the SDK?

Is there any documentation for the Passolo 2018 SDK?

Bryan Kelley — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 19:31:42 GMT

I found that there is extensive documentation for the SDL Trados Studio 2019 APIs, but I can'to find anything but a small readme in the Passolo 2018 SDK. Is there any documentation similar to the Trados Studio API available for the Passolo SDK? My company would like to know what features are available with the SDK (besides the ability to write a custom importer/exporter as shown in the example projects).

Thanks!

Is there an SDK for Passolo 2018?

Josep Condal — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 16:27:55 GMT

Is there an SDK for Passolo 2018 or should we use the SDK for Passolo 2016 in order to create an add-in for Passolo 2018?

Josep.

Can I connect with API in order to consume the content outside SDL apps?

Victor Korosi — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 23:51:45 GMT

Hypothesis: The translation team in my company use Passolo & Trados to localize our content. They do create a message repository where all our terminology is stored. Would be possible to connect via APIs to this repository and consume the content outside SDL applications?

Thank you.

Creating termbase in a VBScript

Dr. Winfried Pilgram — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 11:11:57 GMT

I created a SDL multiterm file by exporting the terms from Passolo 2016. Passolo created an xml (terms) and an xdt (format definition) file. When I create the termbase interactively with the definition file and then import the terms, there are no problems.
Now I tried to do this in a vbscript:

dim oMT
set oMT = CreateObject("MultiTermIX.Application")
Dim oLocalRep
Set oLocalRep = oMt.LocalRepository
Call oLocalRep.Termbases.New("Test1", "Description","d:\Passolo.xdt", "d:\Passolo.sdltb")

When I run this script, I always get an access violation.
     Error type: ACCESS VIOLATION
     Error address: 00008925
     Module name:MultiTermMtServerConnector.dll

Any ideas?

Passolo 2016 UI

Balázs Fehér — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 07:38:54 GMT

Dear SDL,

I am developing an addin for Passolo 2016 (2015) and i had a few question in my mind, to which the API's help could not answer. Could you give me a hand the following topics. I am curious whether they are possible and if yes where can i found the documentation/sample for it

Is there a way to embed a window into the Passolo GUI (like the ViewPart in Trados Studio)?
Is there a way to select a line("segment")?
For one plugin only one ribbon button can be placed?

Thanks in advance,

Balázs

How to I update my SDL company account?

Tom Hoar — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 07:15:58 GMT

I'm taking over our company SDL account that a programmer setup for us. We have this MT Provider listed on the AppStore: http://appstore.sdl.com/app/slate-desktop-translation-provider/535/

I've been able to sign-in using the company's account and changed many account values. However, these updates are not showing in the AppStore. Also, I can't find a place to change values for URLs. I was able to disable the former employee's personal email account, but I would like to remove it altogether. Where can I change all these hidden values?

Passolo 2016 The add-in has another interface version

Balázs Fehér — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 10:42:57 GMT

I would like to create a Passolo Addin, however i run into some trouble at the very beginning. So i would like to build and try one of your sample add-in (DnContectViewer). First of VS said that the reference assemblies (Pass.Addin.Core and Framework) target .NET Framework 4.6, so i have to change the sample project target framework from 4.0 to 4.6 (just for info). Then i could succesffuly build the sample, however when i manually add it to Passolo, i get this message "The add-in has another interface version".

After that i removed the two passolo reference and re-add them from the Passolo's installer folder, however the error messages keep popping up. Could you please help me, what i did wrong or what's the problem with the sample app?

This is the config:

This is the output folder:

Finally passolo with the message:

Thanks in advance

SDK for Passolo 2016

Ye Tian — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:08:03 GMT

Hi everyone!

May I know if in a near future there will be a SDK for Passolo 2016? I only saw the ones for 2011 and 2015, and when trying to use the one for 2015, it will raise "The add-in has another interface version", so that it doesn't compatible with the version 2016.

Thanks and best

Passolo 2009 SDK

Oto Šimeček — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 16:09:21 GMT

Hello everyone, is it possible to get anywhere the Passolo 2009 SDK & documentation - I can find only the 2011/2015 ones. We are processing some legacy content and this would be great help!

Thank you very much!

With the Passolo SDK for Passolo 11, is it possible to automate project creation?

Mark Clayton — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:02:48 GMT

I've looked through the examples that come with the Passolo SDK, and I can't find anything that deals with project creation or tasks. I'm looking to be able to create a project, specifying source and target locations, and languages. I also want to then be able to run a pre-translation, and export non-translated strings.

I'd be happy firstly knowing if this is possible in the Passolo SDK, and secondly if you can just provide pointers to classes and methods to work with.

Get statistics from Passolo possible?

Torsten Held — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 06:44:25 GMT

Dear NG!

I'd like to get the string list statistics (untranslated words, etc) from a passolo project. I looked through the SDK but it does not seem to be possible.

Exporting also does not seem to produce any statistics.

Has anyone an idea how to do this. Any hints are welcome. Kind regards, Thomas

GoogleTranslate API for Passolo

Lindsay Taylor — Tue, 20 May 2014 00:37:11 GMT

Hi all,

Is anyone using Google Translate through the SDL Passolo API? We have a client who is looking to use this solution, and they wanted to get in touch with other SDL customers who are already using it. Would you be willing to talk with them?

Thanks,

Lindsay
