Hi Samuel,

I just tested the DeepL translation provider and I was able to translate using the API. I had DeepL provider added to a project and I've run the Pre-Translate batch task for that project.

Code Sample:

var selectedProject= SdlTradosStudio.Application?.GetController<ProjectsController>()?.SelectedProjects?.FirstOrDefault();
if (selectedProject != null)
{
var settings = selectedProject.GetSettings();
var preTranslateSettings = settings.GetSettingsGroup<TranslateTaskSettings>();
preTranslateSettings.NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.Value = NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.ApplyAutomatedTranslation;
preTranslateSettings.MinimumMatchScore.Value = 75;
selectedProject.UpdateSettings(settings);
selectedProject.Save();
var targetFiles = selectedProject.GetTargetLanguageFiles();

selectedProject.RunAutomaticTasks(targetFiles.GetIds(), new[]
{
AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PreTranslateFiles,
});
selectedProject.Save();
}

Can you please try to use the settings above to see if you are able to pre-translate?

Kind regards,

Andrea Ghisa

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for your reply.

I used your sample code but unfortunately now get "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." 

namespace Sdl.Sdk.PreTranslateFile
{
    using Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Core;
    using Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Settings;
    using Sdl.TranslationStudioAutomation.IntegrationApi;
    using System.Linq;

    public class PreTranslateFile
    {
        public void Create()
        {
            var selectedProject = SdlTradosStudio.Application?.GetController()?.SelectedProjects?.FirstOrDefault();
            if (selectedProject != null)
            {
                var settings = selectedProject.GetSettings();
                var preTranslateSettings = settings.GetSettingsGroup();
                preTranslateSettings.NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.Value = NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.ApplyAutomatedTranslation;
                preTranslateSettings.MinimumMatchScore.Value = 75;
                selectedProject.UpdateSettings(settings);
                selectedProject.Save();
                var targetFiles = selectedProject.GetTargetLanguageFiles();

                selectedProject.RunAutomaticTasks(targetFiles.GetIds(), new[]
                {
                    AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PreTranslateFiles,
                }
                );
                selectedProject.Save();
            }
        }
    }
}

    

Hi Samuel,

Can you please give me the stacktrace and more info from Visual Studio for the error you are receiving? Also, are you using this source code in the plugin or in a standalone application outside Studio?

Have a nice day,

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

I am using this outside of Studio, in a Windows Command Line.

I don't have a stacktrace, and no extra data is added to the sdlproj file using your code.

When I use my code, the sdlproj file is updated with the correct Automatic.Task "Translate" data, just it doesn't translate the file.

What Visual Studio info do you need?

Thanks

Samuel   

Apologies, stacktrace shows app crashes here:

Console.WriteLine("Define selectedProject");
var selectedProject = SdlTradosStudio.Application?.GetController<ProjectsController>()?.SelectedProjects?.FirstOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine("Detect selectedProject");

Define selectedProject
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

The way in which I've taken the selected project in my code sample is used in a plugin that is running in Studio, I assumed you are using a plugin and not a standalone application. 

Can you please use the FileBasedProject ThisSdlProject = new FileBasedProject(SdlProjectFilePath); which you used initially and then use the settings part which I've posted above?

Hi Andrea,

Thanks again for your reply.

Already tried that, runs all the way through but does not translate the file:

namespace Sdl.Sdk.PreTranslateFile
{
    using Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Core;
    using Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased;
    using Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Settings;
    using System;

    public class PreTranslateFile
    {
        public void Create(
            string SdlProjectFilePath
        )
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Define selectedProject");
            FileBasedProject selectedProject = new FileBasedProject(SdlProjectFilePath);
            Console.WriteLine("Detect selectedProject");
            if (selectedProject != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Define settings");
                var settings = selectedProject.GetSettings();
                Console.WriteLine("Define preTranslateSettings");
                var preTranslateSettings = settings.GetSettingsGroup();
                preTranslateSettings.NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.Value = NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.ApplyAutomatedTranslation;
                preTranslateSettings.MinimumMatchScore.Value = 75;
                Console.WriteLine("UpdateSettings");
                selectedProject.UpdateSettings(settings);
                Console.WriteLine("Save");
                selectedProject.Save();
                Console.WriteLine("Define targetFiles");
                var targetFiles = selectedProject.GetTargetLanguageFiles();
                Console.WriteLine("RunAutomaticTasks");
                selectedProject.RunAutomaticTasks(targetFiles.GetIds(), new[]
                {
                    AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PreTranslateFiles,
                }
                );
                Console.WriteLine("Save");
                selectedProject.Save();
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Samuel,

I've managed to reproduce the problem, the credentials are not sent to DeepL service and this is why the pre-translation is not working. If you open Fiddler you'll see that once the pre-translate is hit from DeepL service you'll receive 403.

While I've investigated this problem I've discovered a small bug in DeepL translation provider in the way we are storing the options. They should be saved in the state of the provider and not in the provider URI, this is why Studio is not able to take the credentials from the Credentials Store.

We are working to fix the problem in the DeepL plugin however it will take some time to test the new version and publish it on the AppStore.

In the meantime the workaround for that it will be to add the DeepL Translation provider to the project programmatically (please make sure the project doesn't already have the DeepL added in Settings):

var studioProject =
new FileBasedProject(
@"path to yout projectj");
var settings = studioProject.GetSettings();

var preTranslateSettings = settings.GetSettingsGroup<TranslateTaskSettings>();

preTranslateSettings.NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.Value = NoTranslationMemoryMatchFoundAction.ApplyAutomatedTranslation;
preTranslateSettings.MinimumMatchScore.Value = 75;
studioProject.UpdateSettings(settings);
studioProject.Save();

var tpConfig = studioProject.GetTranslationProviderConfiguration();

var tpUriString = "deepltranslationprovider:///";
var tpReference = new TranslationProviderReference(new Uri(tpUriString), null, true);
var tpCascadeEntry = new TranslationProviderCascadeEntry(tpReference, true, true, false);
tpConfig.Entries.Add(tpCascadeEntry);
studioProject.UpdateTranslationProviderConfiguration(tpConfig);

var apiKey = "DeepL Api Key";
studioProject.Credentials.AddCredential(new Uri(tpUriString), apiKey);
var targetFiles = studioProject.GetTargetLanguageFiles();
studioProject.Save(); var test = studioProject.RunAutomaticTasks(targetFiles.GetIds(), new[]
{
AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PreTranslateFiles,
});
studioProject.Save();

Hi Andrea,

Tomasz from XTRF here, we also came across this error and find your explanations very helpful.

If you can, could you please share where to access the logs that you used to locate the source of error?

It could prove useful in future.

Kind Regards

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for this, it's been driving me a bit mad!

So as it stands, until a new DeepL plugin is developed, we must add the DeepL MT Translation Provider and pre-translate the file(s) at the same time.

Thanks for figuring it out and good luck with the plugin development.

Kind regards

Samuel

Hi Tomasz,

I didn't use any log file, this is how I've troubleshot:

1. For the first part of the investigation, I've used Fiddler to see if I received something from DeepL Service when the plugin tries to access the service. There I saw that the response is 403 and in the header the API key parameter is empty. (Even if I set the API key in the Studio project used for pre-translate).
2. That being said I've tried to set programmatically the credentials on the project because I thought that the credentials are not taken from the Credential Store when we are using a stand-alone app. Even after I programmatically added the credentials to the project I still received 403 and the key wasn't retrieved.
3. Credentials are retrieved based on the provider URI, the only difference which I saw was: when we created an empty project and adding the provider programmatically the provider URI used was "deepltranslationprovider:///". When the provider was added via Studio interface I saw in the plugin that is the URI received also contains the options selected (because we used the provider URI to save the options selected and then populate the UI accordingly).
   

I hope this will help you. If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Have a nice day,

Andrea
