Adapting the plugin "Apply Studio Project Template"

Damien Morard

Dear RWS Developers,

I am interested in the "Apply Studio Project Template" plugin developed by the Trados AppStore Team, which could be beneficial for the work with Trados Studio 2021 in my team. Specifically, we are interested in using this tool to integrate an additional template into our projects. However, we would like to get a simplified version of it., where certain features can be pre-configured and hidden from the end user.

To help us achieve this, we have a few questions:

  1. Would it be possible for your team to provide a reduced version of this plugin? We would be happy to discuss our requirements in more detail if needed.
  2. If we were to manage this customization ourselves, could you advise us on how to comply with the Apache License 2.0? Specifically, we are curious about the proper way to customize the original plugin while adhering to the license terms. Additionally, if our version proves successful, how could we make it available to the broader RWS community and ensure it is recognized as a trusted plugin for Trados? I have already been looking for a way to modify it using Visual Studio.

If you need any further clarification on our questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to your guidance.

    We could but its likely we will as we have also added things to it based on user request. As a result we wont want to maintain a plugin that is evolving while also maintaining a reduced version of it Slight smile

    In the RWS Developer Community there is a Wiki area that gives some guidelines like manifest compliance.

    When the plugin is ready you send a link to where we can download the compiled version (maybe GitHub if you are also open sourcing it) along with the info Lydia mentions and we’ll publish it.

    Send it to: app-signing at rws dotcom

    I have been trying to modify the "Apply Studio Project Template" for the last two weeks but have not been able to make it work. My goal was to build the plugin for my version of "SDL Trados 2021" using Visual Studio 2019 and the corresponding extension.

    After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the issue is due to certain libraries (.dll files) being only available in Trados 2024.

    Could you provide guidance on how to obtain a version of "Apply Studio Project Template" code source that is compatible with "Trados 2021"? Additionally, with the current structure of the GitHub repository containing all the projects, I am unsure on how to extract the specific commit version of this time.

    Thank you in advance for your answer,

    Hello,

    I have modified the original plugin and created a GitHub project, which is available here:
    https://github.com/damdamo/ApplyStudioProjectTemplateSimplified
    The current version of the plugin works and can be installed on SDL Trados 2021. However, this version is still evolving and not yet final.

    I have questions regarding the validation process of the plugin and would be thankful if you can answer them ():
    Here we are.
    Does my current plugin satisfy the license ?
    If I request validation now, would I still be able to modify it later and keep the validation to remove the warning message when opening Trados? Or would each new version need to be rechecked to ensure compliance?
    The upcoming modifications will mostly be related to default button values, which are more about configuration changes than actual code adjustments.
    Additionally, is it possible for the plugin to be checked and validated without being listed on the store? I would be able to give the plugin directly to my colleagues.

    Thank you in advance for your time and your answers.

    Best regards,

    Damien Morard
