Trados Studio 2022 fuzzy settings

Hello,

I am trying to get fuzzy target from Trados Studio to use as one of the parameters in out internal translation API.

Here are my questions for the same

  1. How to setup project to find fuzzy? Does it need TMs?
  2. How to set up fuzzy match score?
  3. If fuzzy match above score “XX” is found in Trados for a sentence, how to grab the target for this fuzzy match. We need this fuzzy match target to be send as one of the parameters in our API Request

  • Hi ,  can you tell me a little bit more abount the type of plugin integation (or standalone project) that you are working on so that I can better undestand what API you are working from?

    Is you project code on a public repository so that I can review it and determine better where you are having difficulty?

    Are you creating a plugin integration or standalone project?

    If it is a plugin, then what type / API are you integrating with:

    • Translation Provider
    • Batch task
    • Integration API (e.g. creating your owns view within Trados Studio)
    • ...

  • Hello  Unfortunately there is no public repository but here are all the details

    Are you creating a plugin integration or standalone project?

    -> We already have plugin integration with Trados. During project creation, user can select our plugin as Translation provider. I am working on adding our "NFA feature" to our existing plugin.

    Here are details about the feature requirements

    --> We have our plugin configuration settings form, here we added additional configurable parameter "NFA". 

    --> If "NFA" feature is on, the lookup for fuzzy match must be done. The seach is performed on Translation Memories added to the project during project creation.

    --> Finally, if a fuzzy match above score “XX” is found in Trados for a sentence, then grab the target of this fuzzy match and add it to the translation request.

    Here's snapshot when I add TM and our plugin ads Translation provider.  

    I need access all the information related to current project in my plugin code. I should get path to current TM to perform fuzzy look ups in ,y plugin code

    I have used <ProjectController> but it does gives information regarding previous project in the list but not the current one. 

    Trados Studio project creation window showing Translation Resources tab with a Translation Memory named 'FR_EN_US, EN_US-FR_FR.sdltm' and a plugin 'SYSTRAN Enterprise Server - spns@dev.systran.us' added as a Translation provider.

  • Hi  ,  just seeing this thread is still open; sorry for not getting back to you.

    So, lets recap to see if I understand everything.

    Can you confirm the type of plugin integration you developing?

    • Translation Provider
    • Batch task
    • Integration API (e.g. creating your owns view within Trados Studio)
    • ...

    From the details above, I can see that you have developed a Translation Provider. 

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but If I understood you correctly, you are attempting to access the project context from the project wizard during project creation, from the Translation Provider?

    If I understood that correctly, the API integrations don't work that way.  The project implements the Translation Memory Provider, not the other way around.  The TM provider doesn't expose access to the project that implements it. 

    Not sure if that helps.  Might be better to have a conversation to understand better the issue you're describing and then help you better in choosing the right strategy.

    let me know

  • Thank you so much for replying  . I understand your points now. 

    " Might be better to have a conversation to understand better the issue you're describing and then help you better in choosing the right strategy." - Is there a way to setup a meeting?
