Hi Cylvie Frechette ,

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,

Oana

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.

Hi Cylvie Frechette , Ian Rahn ,

Apologies for the late reply. I have Antidote12  installed  and been trying to recreate issues, however in my case there is no problem with the compatibility with Studio 2024 and I use it daily...

Please can you attach here the log files, so I can pass them along to Development for further investigation?

The logs should be located here:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\AntidoteVerifier\Logs

Thank you,

Oana

Hi Oana,

Could you please provide me with Antidote Verifier version 4.0.2.0?

That is the only version that will now work for me. I have tried dozens of times to remove the Antidote Verifier 4.0.3.3 plugin and it keeps reappearing in my list of Installed plug-ins in Trados 2024.

When I try to install the latest plugin, Trados will not boot up anymore. I have to go in manually and delete the files (AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18\Plugins\) to regain access to Trados 2024.

Trados also crashes when I copy the plugin file directly into the Packages folder (AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18\Plugins\Packages\).

Antidote 12 is unstable on my computer. I reinstalled Anitdote 11 but Trados 2024 will not allow the Antidote Verifier version 4.0.3.3 to be uninstalled. It never disappears from the list of Installed plugins.

I tried a full uninstall and reinstall of Trados 2024 and tried the repair funcion as well.

My hope is that the older Antidote Verifier versoin 4.0.2.0 will get Antidote working again in Trados 2024.

I have tried to drag and drop the zip file of the logs you requested here. I'm not sure whether or not it worked.
