Activate "Add New Term" on my developing addon

Question

I'm developing a Trados plugin and about Termbases function now watching below.

http://producthelp.sdl.com/SDK/TerminologyProviderApi/2017/html/ea58dcf0-67b3-4a5a-9112-4300bde2b933.htm

I would like to add "Add New term" function for my addin.

But "Add New Term" button on Trados is inactive for my plugin.

What are needed for this?

================================

Are there any relation with "GetLanguages" method?

public override IList<ILanguage> GetLanguages()
{
List<ILanguage> list_lang = new List<ILanguage>();
list_lang.Add((ILanguage)new DefinitionLanguage()
{
Name = "Japanese"
Locale = new CultureInfo("ja")
});
list_lang.Add((ILanguage)new DefinitionLanguage()
{
Name = "English"
Locale = new CultureInfo("en")
});
return list_lang;
}

Hi NICT Dev , Laurent Pierret , Stefanos Kargas 
 I must admit, it isn't obvious and not explained specifically from the documentation; I've made a note of it for now and will signal that this should be included in the documentation from the new platform. 
 Termbase providers are ReadOnly by default, governed by the property IsReadyOnly from the Abstract Terminology Provider that you implement. If your provider allows users to add new terms, then simply override that virtual property from your provider, setting it to false .

Hi NICT Dev , 
 So let me recap the issue you are describing: 
 
 You have set IsReadyOnly to false with your implementation of AbstractTerminologyProvider 
 You can successfully add the termbase provider to your project. 
 When you check the Termbase settings of the project (e.g. Project>Language Pairs>All Language Pairs>Termbases), you confirm the following:
 
 The termbase is enabled 
 The project languages are correctly mapped to the languages of the Termbase

You open a document in the editor, whose language direction is mapped in the termbase (step 3.) 
 The 'Add New Term' button is not enabled when you select text from the source content. 
 
 Have I understood this correctly?
