As you become more comfortable using Trados Studio and discover its feature rich capabilities and functionalities, you may want to extend on its 'inbuilt' features, by installing 'plugins'.

These plugins, will generally fall under the following groupings-

Automated/Machine translation (MT),  Reference and Terminology, File Filters and converters,and of course the 'heart' of your translations... Translation Memory (TM).

To help you get the best out of Trados Studio, we have put together a list of the top 5 apps, that we think will be useful for you and made these available to you via the Academic Partner Private AppStore

Each of the chosen apps is designed to help you in a different area.

SDL Machine Translation Cloud

SDL Machine Translation Cloud is the cloud deployment of the award-winning SDL Machine Translation software that is made for enterprises.

It combines SDL’s Neural Machine Translation (NMT) capabilities with Linguistic AI to remove language barriers in content-intensive business functions.

Glossary Converter*

Glossary Converter allows to convert between MultiTerm Termbases and other terminology formats by simple drag and drop, with minimal user interaction.                                                                                                                                                                         It supports sdltb, xls, xlsx, csv, txt, tbx, utx, glo, multiterm export files and tmx.

Studio Subtitling

The volume of audio visual content for localization is growing rapidly. Turnaround times are getting shorter and many of those working in the industry are feeling increased price pressures in dealing with this sort of content.                                                    Translation tools today lack proper context for subtitlers, offering poor support for the variety of file formats.

Web LookUp*

The Web Lookup plugin for Studio allows the user to select text in the source or target language of the translation and run an internet search without the need to leave Trados Studio or use a separate browser.

Trados TMBackup

This application provides a simple way to back up your Translation Memories and Termbases on a regular/automated basis, to help you ensure that you always have a backup available to you in the event of these precious resources getting corrupted.  

TIP

The plugins marked by a * are designed by third party developers.

We actively encourage developers to create their own plugins. So if you can see a need for a plugin to further enhance Trados Studio, please check our developer website for details.
