Cannot Connect to Language Weaver from Trados.

Mikhail Mikhailov — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:55:10 GMT

We are trying to use Trados NMT in our course in MT post-editing. We have Trados Language Cloud and NMT models are activated. Under my account I can connect to MT via Language Weaver Plugin using my user credentials and everything works.

My colleagues are trying to do the same and cannot connect. They get a following message:

"Unauthorized 401. Code: 54. Message: Unable to generate the access token, Verify your credentials and try again."

No matches found or lookup performed with AI Professional

Frances Nichol — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:29:58 GMT

I've been trying to get AI Professional in Trados Studio 2022 SR2 - 17.2.12.19268 working reliably. However, it always misses some segments and I can't look up the AI Professional translation for them. In this case, it's connecting to OpenAI and the connection is working as I just successfully batch translated the project with it.

Furthermore, sometimes the segments fill with the custom prompt I made for the project instead of an actual translation.

Any ideas on how I can get this working so the batch task does not miss anything and if it does, the lookup can be performed?

Thanks so much!

SDL Machine Translation Cloud stopped working

Julien LaRochelle — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 21:11:49 GMT

Hi,

I have been using SDL Machine Translation Cloud provider for years now, and it suddenly has stopped working this week. I have not changed any setting, and I am doing the exact same steps I have always been doing.

When creating a project, when I go to add "SDL Machine Translation Cloud provider" to my translation memories, I am prompted to log in to the Machine Translation Cloud, and then I get an error message that roughly says "The translation provider 'SDL Machine Translation Cloud provider' does not support any language pair un this project or project template. Use AnyTM (Add -> AnyTM) to add your translation memory."

I managed to add SDL Machine Translation Cloud provider to the translation memory list via AnyTM, but no machine translation is applied during the pretranslation of the file.

I also noticed the language pair was N/A, but I don't remember if this is similar or different than what it used to say.

I use Windows 10; SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance; SDL Machine Translation Cloud plugin version 2.1.2.0. I was able to login to my SDL Machine Translation Cloud account and it is still active.

Any help from the community or RWS would be greatly appreciated!

Date of Reset of Character Limit - Language Weaver

Eszter Kovacsek — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 11:23:18 GMT

Hello,

I have a licence for Trados 2024 (I have been using the software continuously since 2013 and have had various version before). Now, I reached the annual character limit of Language Weaver Cloud, and I am not sure when this limit will reset. This information is important, as I would like to buy an subscription upgrade but not necessarily for a full year, only for the months until the limit resets. How can I find out when it will reset?

Uppercase character issue

selen sahin — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 09:21:49 GMT

Hello,

I'm using Language Weaver for Turkish and I have plenty of uppercase paragraphs. And Language Weaver is not displaying the İ character. (there's i-ı and I-İ )

For exemple: ILIK İÇİLİR is displayed ILIK IÇILIR. Each time, I have to manually change the letters and that's for paragraphs and paragraphs.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thanks

Selen

Got an e-mail from Language Weaver. But i've never subscribed. What is this ? Should i delete the plugin ?

Gilles Snoeck — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 07:02:00 GMT

Today i got an e-mail from Language Weaver telling me about my subscription and how i had used 80% of my yearly allocation.

I had never heard about this service before. I checked and realized that i have a plug-in by that name in my Trados Studio.

If i go above the allocation, will i be asked to pay anything ?

Should i delete that plug-in ?

What is it even for ?

NMT not populated in the target segment

Rodanthe Papadiou — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 22:01:29 GMT

Hello, I am experiencing an issue with SDL Trados 2024. After installing the latest update (prompted by the orange notification bell in the Editor), the machine translation stopped working: machine translation (cloud based sources) no longer appears in the settings (I mean in editor-in the target segment). I have checked all relevant parameters—including internet connection, MT provider settings, and general configuration—but the problem persists.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

Machine Translation and Termbase

Xiaojing Kou — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 15:16:24 GMT

I wonder if it is normal that Machine Translation does not integrates the existing Termbase? Despite that Trados marks the terms in the linked termbase in a sentence, if it is translated by Machine Translation, it does not incorporate the term. Even after I revise it and confirm it again and again. I wonder if this is the case of the current tool or if I have missed any setting that allows the two to work together? Thank you!

"Cloud-based resources" MT stopped working

Omar AlKhouli — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:53:14 GMT

Today, while working in Trados Studio, the cloud-based machine translation suddenly stopped working. It had been working flawlessly moments earlier, and all other features, including the TM and TB, remain operational.

There are no issues with my license or internet connection. All Project Settings for language resources are correctly configured, with all checkboxes ticked.

Has anyone encountered this sudden problem? Any insights into its cause or potential solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Language Weaver disconnects and stops working while working on a project (Trados 2024)

Nuria Lucena — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 12:06:43 GMT

The Language Weaver app (free account) disconnects and Trados stops providing machine translation results.

Some error messages are (not all of them always appear):

This error message appears occasionally, but when it does, it's very annoying because it pops up every time a segment is confirmed:

The ‘solution’ is to uncheck Language Weaver in the project settings and then select it again.

It works until it ‘gets tired’ and stops working (disconnects again), and then you have to repeat the same operation.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Thank you for your help!

Unable to sign into language cloud in Trados Studio but credentials work in browser

Petra Silfverskiold — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:33:44 GMT

Hi there,

I'm running Trados Studio 2017 and when I try to add SDL language cloud machine translation my login credentials don't work. I can obviously sign into my account here. I have reset my password several times but it still doesn't work. It has worked in the past, but I probably haven't used it in the last year or so. Any ideas? Also, where can I find my API key so I can try adding it that way?

TIA!

Language Weaver not showing language pairs after upgrading to Studio 2024

Sonia del Couz — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 11:00:05 GMT

Since upgrading to Studio 2024, I’ve lost access to Language Weaver. When I try to activate it, no language pairs appear in the dropdown, even though I have EN>ES and ES>EN properly configured and activated. Has anyone experienced this issue or found a workaround?

Any help will be very much welcomed!

Language wiever : augmenter la limite de l'abonnement

KADRI SIHAM — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 06:58:25 GMT

Bonjour. Nous sommes le 17/06/2025, j'ai atteint la limite de 7,2 millions de caractères. Ma période de facturation se termine le 30/07/2025. J'ai deux questions. La première : est-ce qu'à partir du 01/08/2025 j'aurai une nouvelle allocation de caractère identique valable pour 1 an, c'est un renouvellement automatique ou non? Ma deuxième question : est-ce je peux avoir une augmentation de mon allocation de caractères en attendant le renouvellement de mon allocation et si oui comment le faire à partir de mon compte ? Merci à vous.

Generic - NMT missing

Jana Hozová — Thu, 08 May 2025 15:30:30 GMT

Hello, I am doing the Level 2 Workbook and already in the first task, there is the Generic - NMT missing in Cloud-based Resources. I found somewhere that it could be due to missing Language Weaver, so I tried to log into it and download it, but it didn't work and said my account is not set up for it. How can I acces the Generic - NMT please? Why is it not showing up? Thank you so much!

LANGUAGE WEAVER PROVIDER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY

Michela Rocchi — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 15:35:06 GMT

Hi,

I'm currently using Trados 2024 - 18.0.2.3255, but I'm encountering some issues with the Language Weaver Provider for the English (UK)–Italian language combination.

When I open the Cloud-based Resources and select Machine Translation, no options appear for selection, as shown in the screenshot.

I'm properly signed in, and I've already checked my Language Weaver subscription, which seems to be active.

Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance!

language weaver cloud pre lookup/find and replace

Orhan Avcıoğlu — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 15:30:34 GMT

Dear CS team,

I am using language weaver cloud in Studio 2024 professional. I have the SOZLUK.sdltb term base file. I want to use sdltb file in "Pre Lookup Find / Replace" in language weaver cloud. As far as I researched, I found that this file needs to be converted to xml.

I converted sdtb to xml or tbx via gloassary converter or export from multiterm. Every time I upload the file to Pre Lookup Find / Replace I got an error message. I searched the forum and found the following information. The xml file should have the following structure. But I can't find a way to convert sdltb to the proper xmll format.

How can I convert .sdltb (term-based file) file to appropirate xml formatt to use in Pre Lookup Find / Replace.

Thank you for your help.

Language Weaver provider keeps signing me off while I'm working in Trados Studio

Danilo Lopes Barbosa — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:57:22 GMT

I added Language Weaver Cloud to a project in Trados Studio by going Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Use... > Language Weaver Provider, then entering my credentials (username and password) and it worked as expected. However, periodically while I'm working, or every time I close Studio and open it again, Language Weaver gets disconnected and gives me an error with code 401 (Unauthorized). To fix this, I have to go to Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation, select Language Weaver Cloud, then Settings... > Update > Confirm. Machine translation then starts working again, until after sometime when it gets disconnected again, and I have to repeat the process. I'm using the latest version of Trados Studio and I log into Language Weaver with EU credentials.

Setting up Language Weaver in Studio Freelance

Beth Miles — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 06:59:17 GMT

The only help I can find is for Language Weaver Edge, which I don't think I have, as I have the freelance edition.

I managed to add the engine to my translation by clicking on "Language Weaver Cloud", but this seems to be a one-time connection, and I don't want to have to sign in and reconnect the MT to my translation every time. I tried to enter an API key that I found after logging into Language Weaver in my browser, but it wants a host URL and this is not displayed in my account.

How do I add Language Weaver to Trados without having to sign in every time? The only training and help online I can find is for Language Weaver Edge, which I don't have.

Thank you!
