Custom languages freeze the term search in Terminology Provider

Question

Hi,

I am implementing a Terminology Provider plugin for Trados Studio 2021, 2022 SR2 and 2024.

I need to keep all three versions properly updated.

My problem is that when I am using custom languages (regional), I notice two problems:

#1. in Studio 2022 SR2 (only in this version) I get a constant 'Searching for terms..' and no results appear, even though I do search and return with results (an exception appears in the logs)

#2. in Studio 2022 SR2 and Studio 2024 the system does not ask for the descriptive fields and so it does not fill in the Hitlist fields.

-------------------------

PROBLEM #1: STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Use a custom terminology provider plugin

2. Create a project that translates from ENG-US to GER-DE

3. You need to map the ENG-US to a custom language, e.g. ENG-GB

Screenshot of Trados Studio Project Settings showing TermBases tab with a TermWeb Studio plug-in set as default and language mappings for English (United States) to English (UK), French (France) to French (FR), and German (Germany) to German (DE).

4. Open the project and try to search for terms using the custom terminology provider. You will see that the 'Searching for terms..' message stays forever

Screenshot of Trados Studio with a document open for translation showing a persistent 'Searching for terms...' message in the Term Recognition pane, indicating a problem with term search functionality.

At the same moment you get the following error in the logs:

I noticed from my personal logs that the `ITerminologyProvider.Search` runs normally without issues and I return the search results properly, but the `ITerminologyProvider.GetEntry(int id)` does not run at all.

It is important to notice that the exact same code runs perfectly in Trados Studio 2024.

-------------------------

PROBLEM #2: STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Follow exactly the same steps 1-3 from problem #1

Now, open your project and notice that Trados does not ever run the `ITerminologyProvider.GetDescriptiveFields()` to fill in the Hitlist Fields

This problem exists in Studio 2022 SR2 and Studio 2024.

If I use no custom languages I get the descriptive fields to work fine.

Looking forward to your answer

Stefanos Kargas Problem one has been logged under SDLCOM-6135 for investigation.
Problem 2 has been logged under SDLCOM-6163

While we schedule time in for this, may I ask for clarification over the status of your licenses?
I ask becase I noted the following in the error logs: <statusMessage>Duration of Trial License of ProfessionalEdition ver 2022 is exhausted.</statusMessage>

 Hello! 
 GetDescriptiveFields method from IATE is a custom method that's not from the ITerminologyProvider interface and it doesn't get called directly by Trados. 
 The Definition property is what you are looking for, and this property does get called by Trados for retrieving the fields. 
 Please take a look at the docs for this here and for another example here .

Hello Stefanos Kargas , 
 Thank you for your reply, and apologies for the delayed response. 
 We want to inform you that we have been testing this behavior extensively, both with your plugin (TermWeb) and with other predefined terminology plugins. Based on our findings, we were only able to reproduce this issue using the TermWeb plugin. Despite our best efforts, this behavior does not seem to occur with other plugins. 
 To assist with this matter, I have created and published a sample Terminology Plugin that enables users to utilize custom regional languages (e.g., English (United Kingdom) for an English (United States) project). You can review the implementation of this sample plugin here . The plugin includes two terminology files and two translatable files, which you can use to test its functionality. 
 When developing this sample plugin, I followed all the steps outlined in the Terminology Documentation . You may find this documentation helpful in updating your existing plugin to resolve the issue. 
 Please let us know if you need further assistance or have additional questions. 
 Best regards, Alexandru Florescu

 Hello! 
 The method GetDescriptiveFields is not part of the ITerminologyProvider interface. It is part of an internal interface which you don't/can't implement. 
 Please take a look at one of our implementations of a TerminologyProvider in the AppStore repository for a working example.

Custom languages freeze the term search in Terminology Provider
