This article explains how to submit your Trados Studio plug-in (.sdlplugin) for code signing and/or publication on the RWS AppStore. If you are developing plug-ins for distribution (internally or externally), this is a required step to avoid security warnings in Trados Studio and to allow wider deployment. This information is taken from https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/articles/gettingstarted/plugin_deployment.html which should be referred to for the latest information.

When you install an unsigned plug-in in Trados Studio, a security warning will appear at startup:

“Unsigned SDL Trados Studio Plug-in Found...”

To remove this warning, your plug-in must be signed by RWS.

Steps to Request Signing:

Build your plug-in using the official Trados Studio SDK project templates.
Send an email to:
app-signing@sdl.com
Include in the email:
- A brief description of your plug-in
- A download link to the .sdlplugin file (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, WeTransfer, etc.)

Once verified, RWS will:

Sign the plug-in on your behalf
Return a signed version via email

You can now distribute this version without triggering the unsigned warning.
