Greetings to all; This week, upon attempting to start up Trados Studio 2019 Freelance I receive the message "The Freelance Edition does not work on domain-based networks". This has happened after my work laptop had been connected to the print/scan/copy machines of the company. Before - when my laptop was simply connected to the company's internet but without printer connection - I had no problems...does this mean that I must upgrade to Freelance 2022?
Hello MARIOS FRATZESKOS
Upgrading to 2022 version will not solve the issue as it will still be a Freelance license which doesn`t works on domain-based networks.
For more details please refer to this article: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0032252
Thank you,
Sorin
Good morning; thank you for your reply. Do you know if the SDL 2022 professional has an option for 'phrase based' machine translation, like the SDL Trados 2019 used to have?

Hello Sorin Perta
In Studio 2022 you can use machine translation via the Language Weaver plugin. This plugin and other translation engines can be downloaded through (Missing Wiki Page)
However, I`m not sure what you mean by 'phrase based'. Can you provide more details?
Thank you,
Sorin
Hello Sorin Perta; I will try to be as helpful as I can with the details; I'm not a computer genius...if you remember, the SDL Trados 2019 gave the option to connect the translation project to the automatic translation from Systrans, Google API etc. So, I was using Google API and upon selecting Google API, the system presented me with the option of 'neural translation' or 'phrase-based translation'. I think phrase-based translation worked better for me because depending on the language pairs it provided more 'localised' phrases for the target text. Hence my question about phrase-based automatic translation in the updated versions of Trados.
Many thanks
Marios

Trados 2019 did not give you all these options. Systran was provided by a plugins from the AppStore. However the old Google integration was part f the product:
Since Trados Studio 2021 this was removed from the product and we only support Google via plugins. The "Phrase-based MT" option is also no longer available as this was retired by Google in preference to Neural MT. Today whether you use the V2 or V3 API they are both neural.
So you need to use MT Enhanced, or Google Cloud n Glossary from the private appstore for example.
