Creating a project in Trados studio from the WorldServer (wsxz) package via the Trados studio automation API

Hi, we are using Trados studio and now we have a lot of packages from WorldServer. We use the Trados studio automation API to automate our work with Trados studio.

I would like to create a Trados studio project from a WorldServer .wsxz package and then create a return package for WorldServer via the Trados studio automation API.

Are there any plugins for Trados studio automation API, which can I use for it? If no. Are there any other options to automate this?

Thanks a lot.

 Best regards, Vladimir

  • Hi Vladimir,

    Public APIs are available for WorldServer side automation (creating WSXZ packages and importing them back to WorldServer).
    Unfortunately, there is no tested and documented way to achieve the same on the Trados Studio side.

    If you need this capability, you can contact your Trados Studio Support representative and request this change, which will be further submitted for internal review and prioritization.


    Thank you,

  • Hi Anca,

    Thanks for answer.

    This is the response from Trados studio two years ago:

    Quote."

    The WorldServer converter was never part of the pluginconfig.xml manifest file, and so it was never part of the public API for Trados Studio either.  It's therefore most likely that we will not be doing anything for Trados Studio 2021 that could properly support your effort, but as part of our efforts to migrate the WorldServer Component to a full plugin we will be extending support for 3rd party developers to introduce their own converters.  This work will be part of the new major release due later this year.  We cannot guarantee it will be completely finished in time for the initial release because of many competing priorities, but we are working on it."
