Does the Antidote Verifier plugin support the new Antidote 12?

Does the Antidote Verifier plugin support the new Antidote 12? I am using Studio 2021 SR2. I have already asked Druide, the makers of Antidote, but they are deferring to RWS for confirming the plugin compatibility, as Trados AppStore is the author of the plugin.

  • Hi  ,

    That's a fair question to ask:) 

    Unfortunately, I can't yet confirm anything as I don't have Antidote 12 installed. I'll check with the developers and see if we can get one for testing.

    However, as I have Antidote 11 installed, I can confirm I can use it with the plugin for Studio 2021, no conflicts presented.

    Unless there are major changes between Antidote 11 and Antidote 12, I shouldn't expect issues.

    But this is yet to be confirmed. Hopefully, there are users who already have Antidote 12 and give more feedback.

    Regards,

  • Thank you, Oana,

    Compatibility confirmation with Antidote 12 for all Studio versions using the Antidote Verifier plugin would be also appreciated. I am considering upgrading to Studio 2024, but I have notices some users are also experiencing issues with the plugin and Studio 2024 in other threads. This is an important part of my quality assurance process, and if there are issues, it could prevent me from making any upgrades. My current setup, consisting of Antidote 11 and Studio 2021, is currently working fine.

  • Hi Oana,

    I am currently running Trados 2024 - 18.0.1.2259 on Windows 11 with all of the latest updates.

    When I tried to upgrade from Antidote 11 to Antidote 12, it caused an error message every time I tried to run Antidote. I attempted to install the latest plugin and rebooted multiple times, but to no avail. I could not get it working on my workstation.

    I have since been in contact with Druide, the company that makes Antidote 12, and I was told they were informed by RWS Support that Antidote 12 works with Trados 2024 for them, but it does not work for me.

    I was forced to uninstall Antidote 12 and reinstall Antidote 11, which works properly as it always has with all of the plugins I've used with it (I was not using the latest plugin and it still worked).

    Druide is adamant that I work directly with you to resolve this issue, so please advise what the proper procedure is.

  • Hi Oana,

    You asked for more feedback, and I gave you mine regarding my unfortunate experience and inability to access Antidote 12 using Trados Studio 2024.

    RWS appears to be ignoring this issue.

    Many freelance translators in Canada are contractually bound to use Antidote to check the spelling and grammar of their translations prior to delivering them. Accordingly, access to Antidote 12 is not "nice to have" for Trados users in Canada.

    Could you please tell me if you have any new information to provide on the status of the Antidote Verifier plug-in?

    I cannot put my business at risk by trying to upgrade again if Studio 2024 is not going to work with Antidote and I am unable to fulfil my contractual obligations to my clients.

    Please advise at your earliest convenience.
