Install more add-ons on Trados Live

Hello,

As a Mac user and freelance translator pressured into purchasing Trados, I finally decided to buy a licence thinking I could do most things in Trados Live.

But now, I noticed that only add-ons from big paying MT providers are installed. And I cannot install any myself! 

I wish all add-ons would be available to install on Trados Live too. I personally wanted to install MyMemory and IATE. Every free CAT tool is linked to MyMemory.

Please let us install the free MT providers too. Also Glossary Converter is not available, so cannot even install IATE's memory (which is tbx format)!

    I also wish this! "Trados Live" isn't a product name we use anymore so when I refer to Language Cloud I am talking about the same thing you want.

    The development of the add-ons for Language Cloud would have to be carried out by the developer, and for MT providers this won't be RWS (except for DeepL, Google, MS Translator, Amazon which we did the Studio plugins for as well).  The APIs are all here: https://languagecloud.sdl.com/lc/api-docs/72b66de24898e-rws-language-cloud-api

    On the Glossary Converter.  This will never become a Language Cloud add-on as this is a full blown windows application, not really an add-on.  However, you can import a TBX directly already if that helps you:
