Pre-requisites:

1. you have your own machine translation system that supports this?
2. your machine translation has API endpoints to be able to create a plugin for Trados Studio that can use them?
3. the API documentation for Trados Studio is here: https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/apiconcepts/translationmemory/overview.html

Once you have all of this the question of how it works is really on your eld.  This is because you send the translation to your provider, you train and imporove your engines, and then the updated results will be returned by you.

There is no generic solution on our end because the service is on you.

Hi Paul, I am working on the plugin of Alexa Translations, I need your help to find out the details and documentation about how to integrate the adaptive translations in our plugin so that our user could be able to use this feature in Trados. 
how we will be sending the edited segments in the editor to engine to be adaptive, which interface or function we need to use to catch that in trados in our plugin, it would be helpful if you could send me the related docs to help to implement this feature in the plugin.

If you read through the documentation you should see that Translation Providers in Trados Studio have an update feature.  I think this section is what you're looking for: https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/apiconcepts/translationmemory/updating_a_translation_memory.html#add-a-translation-unit

So you wouldn't be specifically making anything adaptive, you would just be sending the TUs back to your provider and how you use them is up to you.

Does that help?

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your response.

I want to add a learning feature in the segment editor. When a user edits a segment and clicks on "Learn" the segment should be sent to the engine and preserved for future learning. Additionally, I need to capture the project ID from the user.

Could you please guide me on how to implement this in SDL?

Hi Usman Asif ,

If you're looking to implement functionality to capture edits made within the segment editor and send them back to your engine for learning purposes, you'll want to leverage the Integration API by subscribing to specific event handlers on the Editor document. Specifically:

Active segment changes: You can subscribe to the `ActiveSegmentChanged` event to detect when the user moves to different segments. This lets you actively monitor changes and edits in real-time.

Capturing Segment Content: To capture segment content after the translator/post-editor has applied changes, subscribe to events such as, `ContentChanged` etc...

Send SegmentPair to your engine (Learn button?): Consider implementing your own custom button/action (like your described "Learn" button) in the Trados Studio UI that explicitly sends the updated segment data

This is a rough outline of steps you'd take for implementation that I've interpreted from your comments:

• Reference `Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi.dll` in your Visual Studio plugin solution.
• Subscribe to the segment-level editing events (like `ActiveSegmentChanged`).
• Capture the currently edited segment (`ActiveSegment`) and send it to your custom learning engine.

You can make specific reference to the public documentation to understand how to implement features from the ISegmentDocument or make reference to the public sample api projects, here: https://github.com/RWS/studio-api-docs

I would also recommend you clone our public RWS community github repo as it contains alot of projects with integrations with the Editor that provide you with some good examples of 'How To' subscribe to the various event handlers from the IStudioDocument, here: https://github.com/RWS/Sdl-Community
