Custom SDL Studio report

Question

Hi, 
 We are investigating how we can create a custom report based on the fuzzy match value of translation memory (TM) and automated translation (AT) matches using the Studio SDK. 
 Previously, we have built a Translation Provider plugin that returns matches from a machine translation system together with a score that represents the quality of the translation. 
 We store this value in the Score field of the SearchResult. When running the standard Analysis Report we see the AT matches reported in the correct fuzzy category but we have no way of knowing if a reported segment is coming from a TM in the project or from our plugin. Is there a way to create a report that shows only fuzzy matches with a specific origin? 
 In the Editor, we see that the TM matches are stored with origin "Translation Memory", while the matches coming from MT have an origin "Automated Translation" (see screenshot below). 
 Is there a way to distinguish between the two during report creation via the Studio API?

Hi Koen, 
 
You need to read the sdlxliff file to get that information. 
There are a few ways to do this: 
 
1) With your current method, you will need to parse the sdlxliff files yourself. Open up an sdlxliff file and search for "origin-system" or just "origin", you will find that the information you are looking for is stored in these attributes. 
 
2) Do it while you have documents open in the editor. In this situation, you can get an EditorController and read the information from the ActiveDocument. However, the viewpart would only be visible in the Editor view I believe 
 
2) Use the Batch Task API. If you use the Batch Task API, you can create a report just like the Analysis Report. 
 
Let me know if you need assistance for any of these.
