How to log in LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemoryApi for Machine Translation Provider

Question

How can you log within a plugin that uses the LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemoryApi SDK for Trados 2021. 
 
 I tried to implement the NLog class used in the DeepL Community example from Github but there is no file created during runtime. 
 Sdl-Community/Log.cs at master &middot; sdl/Sdl-Community (github.com)

Hi Colin Harper ! 
 That is not a mistake, * DeepL * translates as find any string which contains DeepL (precedeed and followed by anything else, that's what * does). So, we're adding a rule that any logger with a name containing DeepL, should write to the <target> file.

With the upcoming Trados Studio 2021 CU4 we are going to expose a new API that allows plugins to log information the main Studio log file. This simplifies the setup and maintenance you have to do in your plugin. Also it helps with product diagnostics as the log information will contain information from plugins. Here's a sample covering the new API - https://github.com/sdl/trados-studio-api-samples/tree/master/TranslationStudioAutomation/Sdl.Logging.Sample
