Patrick Andrew Hartnett I have one more question - do you think that the workaround I proposed to delete first two <extension>...</extension> sections from Sdl.BestMatchService.TranslationProvider.plugin.xml or deleting whole Sdl.BestMatchService.TranslationProvider.plugin.xml file can cause any problems?

Hi Wojciech Bubicz ,  The development team have reported that there will be a fix in place for the Trados Studio 2022 SR2 CU11 and 2024 CU1.

Until then, you can use this workaround.

1. Add a reference to Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased to your project.
2. Add this reflection helper to your code. This helper includes a method to call a private static method in FileBasedProject assembly.
3. Call the helper method CallEnsurePluginRegistryIsCreated once, before the factory methods.
   
   Full code example here:
   

   using System;
   using System.Reflection;
   using Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemoryApi;
   using Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased;
   
   namespace ConsoleApp1
   {
       internal class Program
       {
           static void Main(string[] args)
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Calling TranslationProviderManager.GetTranslationProviderFactories...");
               ReflectionHelper.CallEnsurePluginRegistryIsCreated();
               var factories = TranslationProviderManager.GetTranslationProviderFactories();
               Console.WriteLine("Result obtained successfully: {0} objects.", factories.Count);
   
               Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to continue...");
               Console.ReadLine();
           }
       }
   
       public static class ReflectionHelper
       {
           public static void CallEnsurePluginRegistryIsCreated()
           {
               // Get the type of the class containing the private static method
               Type fileBasedProjectType = typeof(FileBasedProject);
   
               // Get the MethodInfo object for the private static method using BindingFlags
               MethodInfo methodInfo = fileBasedProjectType.GetMethod(
                   "EnsurePluginRegistryIsCreated",
                   BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);
   
               // Ensure the method has been found
               if (methodInfo == null)
               {
                   throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not find the method EnsurePluginRegistryIsCreated");
               }
   
               // Invoke the private static method
               methodInfo.Invoke(null, null);
           }
       }
   }

That's great! Thank you.
The workaround helps in our project! Thanks!
