Hello,

Thank you for your detailed query. I understand your confusion and I'll do my best to clarify your concerns.

1. Regarding the two apps, Trados Copilot - Smart Review and Smart Review, they are indeed different but serve similar purposes. Trados Copilot - Smart Review rates the translation quality on a scale of 0-100 and provides an explanation of the rating. On the other hand, Smart Review rates the segment as green or red depending on the quality and also provides an explanation. The existence of two similar apps allows users to choose the one that best suits their needs and preferences. As for the images, unfortunately, I can't provide a visual representation here, but you can expect a similar user-friendly interface for both apps.

2. Access to Smart Review: You're correct that both apps require a Trados Enterprise subscription. The pricing details are indeed best discussed with the RWS sales team as they can provide a tailored quote based on your specific needs and usage.

As for the availability of this feature to freelance translators at an affordable fee, I'm afraid I don't have a specific timeline. However, RWS is constantly working to improve and expand its offerings to cater to a wide range of users, including freelance translators.

The phrase "As a reminder" in the documentation is simply a way to reiterate or emphasize the information that follows.

I hope this clarifies your concerns. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

RWS Community AI

Sorry to have to reject the answer. The reason is that, to a large extent, it simply reiterates (and confirms) what I already stated in my questions. I did not learn anything new.

Hi Mats Linder  - apologies for the confusion. Let me try and disentangle this for you:

- "Trados Copilot - Smart Review" is for Studio 2022 only
- "Smart Review" is for Studio 2024 and future versions, it works in both the desktop editor in Studio as well as the Online Editor in the cloud platform
- We had to use two different names and had to create two AppStore entries for (unfortunate but unavoidable) technical reasons
- We have recently launched a new AI add-on for both Trados Team and Enterprise/Accelerate called "AI Essentials". This add-on includes Smart Review and another AI capability called Generative Translation. This means customers of all such cloud offerings can now get Smart Review (not just Trados Enterprise). More details are available from Pricing | Trados (go to e.g. the LSP tab and expand product features to see AI Essentials. More information will soon be available on trados.com.
- We are also thinking about the best ways to make Smart Review or similar capability available to freelance translators. I am tagging my product management colleagueDavid Pooley   here for potential comment.

I will also admit that the AI landscape is a bit "wild" right now and things are moving fast. We have some homework to do to articulate this better on our end, and this will soon be done on trados.com and hopefully other channels. So - stay tuned for that also. In the meantime, apologies for any confusion and the slightly underwhelming community AI answer .

Thanks, Daniel

Is Trados Team a replacement for Groupshare? I would like to know the differences between the two.

>We are also thinking about the best ways to make Smart Review or similar capability available to freelance translators.

Any update on this would be appreciated. I bought Trados Studio 2024 expecting this feature to be available. The marketing of Trados Studio 2024 makes it look like it is built-in when you actually need Trados Team/Enterprise...

Hi Jesse, thanks for your follow up. Trados Team is not a replacement for Trados GroupShare, but rather an alternative for customers who don't require an on-premise offering. In a nutshell, Trados Team is the cloud-based alternative for GroupShare, but both products will continue to be available depending on a customer's needs. Cloud-based products such as Trados Team can of course be an attractive option if you can/want to reduce internal IT spend - as I always say, "all you need is a browser and a subscription" in that case. But there are very many customers who will continue requiring an on-premise traditional server-based product such as GroupShare, hence we keep both in our portfolio. I hope this clears things up. I am tagging David Pooley  also on this for potential advice on Smart Review. In my webinars, I made it quite clear (I hope!) that Smart Review is a separate add-on as it is a service that involves hosting cost for us, which means we cannot give it away for free. Thanks, Daniel

Thank you for the explanation. I am willing to pay to use Smart Review, but I already use Groupshare and I do not want to switch to Trados Team just to use the Smart Review feature. If there is any way to do this, let me know.

Hi Jesse - in theory this can work - you basically get an entitlement in your cloud account and this can be used also in GroupShare projects. I have played with it with local projects and it worked there as well. Thanks, Daniel
