However, I'm unable to install a machine translation database on my Trados.

What makes you think this is possible at all?  Or do you mean you are unable to add a Machine Translator Provider to Studio?

If the former you should put together a proper post explaining what you have tried and post into the appropriate developers forum for Trados Studio.  If it's the latter perhaps you can tell us which one you have tried to install?

FYI - As a new user I installed a trial version and followed the information provided by the supplier. If it doesn't work after 3 days of video watching, attempt to follow the supplier's recommendation to fail. I've contacted my Trados contact, and so far no reply.

I'm afraid you are not helping here.  Please be specific about what doesn't work?  How can anyone help you if you cannot explain what's not working?

What information do you think you followed?

We're very happy to help you but you need to help yourself by at least explaining what your problem is.  For example you could tell us:

• I created a project after following the getting started guide
• I created a new Translation Memory and added it to my project
• I started translating but I'm not getting any results

Something like that would be helpful.  Right now we have absolutely no idea what your problem is or where you're getting stuck.
