I'm afraid not. This is because DeepL have not exposed this functionality in their API so we have no way to do this. I expect this will happen in the future and when we are advised the API has been updated I'm sure we'll update the plugin accordingly.

Dear Paul
I saw that this functionality is now covered by the API. Could you tell us if you are working on including this in the plug-in and if so, when it will be available? Thank you very much.
Kind regards, Kai

Dear all,
unfortunately the last link from Paul is no longer available. Summorizing the information I could find in this thread: deepl has included the glossary function in its API.
Is it now possible to use/activate the deepl-glossary funcion in sdl-trados? If that is the case: in which version?
Thank you very much in advance!

No, we have not started the work to include this in the plugin yet. It is on our backlog, but further down our current priorities.
As I have said many times before, we do opensource the code for this so it would be quite possible for anyone who knows how to develop and considers this important enough, to add this capability on behalf of the wider community. But if that never happens then we will get to it.

Really a pity. Glossary function of DeepL works nicely, even for morphologically rich languages. I hope Trados plugin gets it soon!

We have been discussing a few things with the DeepL team and I wanted to make sure you understood that this feature will not be available to you if you only have a Pro account?
It will only be available to users with a "DeepL API for Business" subscription. This is because of what DeepL support, not because of anything we are restricting.
To quote the information we were provided with:
"However, in case of additional development to your plugin, it should be noted that customers with a DeepL Pro Advanced or Ultimate subscription (the prerequisites for CAT Tool integration) are not allowed to create the glossaries themselves via direct API request.
Direct access to our API by customers who do not have a DeepL API subscription counts as a violation of our Terms and Conditions and may result in a corresponding suspension for these customers."
So this means you have to have a DeepL API subscription of which they offer three types:
Of these three only one includes CAT tool integration and that's "DeepL API for Business".
We are currently investigation with DeepL how we are able determine the style of subscription a user has as this is not clear. But this is likely to be news for some users, possibly like you, who have a Pro subscription and believed this meant you can work with glossaries.
You should also be aware that there are glossaries, and there are glossaries! The glossaries you create using the API are not the same as the glossaries you create manually. So you will not be able to use the ones you created in your account as they cannot be accessed via the API... and vice versa. This means a lot of synching between the two if you wish to keep them in synch... something you will have to do manually.
Also, the DeepL API does not support an ability to change a glossary. So if you need to make changes you would have to delete the existing one and recreate a new one.
All in all possibly not a particularly attractive option. I would be very interested to learn your view on this information if you were not aware of it already?
