XTRF – Trados Studio integration has been improved to dynamically update the list of Machine Translation engines installed on your Trados. 

To manually select a Machine Translation Engine in a Classic project in XTRF:

1. Open the required task.

2. In the CAT Tools tab, ensure integration with Trados Studio 2022 is selected in the ‘CAT Tool’ drop-down menu.

3. Click on the Machine Translation tab and select the MT Engine from the drop-down list.

Open

Result

Selecting a Machine Translation Engine from the list overwrites the MT engine set in a Trados project template. Choosing the Not selected option preserves the project template settings for Machine Translation.

To apply the MT translation, go to the required Task display > CAT Tools tab > Project Creation subtab > Pre-translate Files section > When no match found section and select the Apply automated translation.

Open

This feature is yet disabled by default, leaving only a few pre-selected Machine Translation Engines at your disposal. To turn this feature on and extend the list of MT Engines:

1. Install Trados Studio 2022 on your server with the XTRF Platform.

2. Install the desired MT Engine plugin in your Trados Studio.

3. Install the 7.4.1.1 (or newer) version of XTRF Trados Agent.

4. To enable the feature, contact the XTRF Support Team.

5. Configure the XTRF Trados Agent for MT Engines, or contact the XTRF Support Team for help.

Theoretically, any MT Engine plugin installed on your XTRF server may work with the Trados Integration. However, some of them require additional effort from the administrators. If you opt for a less popular solution and encounter problems configuring XTRF Trados Agent, please contact XTRF Support or your Regional Growth Manager.

XTRF integration has been successfully tested against the three most popular machine translation providers for Trados:

• DeepL MT Provider.

• Google plugin v 2.
