[Plugins] SDL Trados studio connector : how to launch the trados projects properly ?

  • Updated

Objective

This article aims to guide through how to avoid properly launch the trados projects on pre-translate mode. It is often observed while launching a project via CMLess Trados studio (Systran Plugin/ connector for SDL trados) in task sequence, that the option 'Apply automated translation' under task : Pre-translate is grayed out or projects are launched without pre-translate mode, which obliges the user to double click on each sentence to obtain the translation. This article describes the steps to follow to avoid this type of issues.

Pre-requisites

SES8 or SPNS9 pre-installed

Systran server connected and configured with user's API key 

Steps to follow

There best way to configure this is configuring the below steps directly from the options

  • Click on file, then go to 'options'

Note : Choose the minimum match value closer to the match value set in search to see better fuzzy match in results

For example:

If you have multiple language pairs, do the above for each individual LPs.

Next repeat the above steps for All Language pairs

Once done click on 'OK' button to save this configuration.

This will save the settings globally for the whole SDL trados connector. Now you should not only have tackled the issue of grayed out "Apply Automated Translation" but also you have set the settings for globally all new projects.
