Batch task "Pre-translate Files with OpenAI Provider for Trados" not working since update install

I have been using the OpenAI pretranslate option on my current project (and on previous projects).

I have already pretranslated 2 files successfully, had them reviewed, and finalized them. Then, I updated Trados and the OpenAI plugin. Now, it doesn't work. I have looked in the community, in the AI-enabled section and checked the post there. It does not help with this situation.

Every time I open Trados, an error message informs me that the plugin is unsigned and asks if I am sure I want to use it, to which I say YES. Maybe something else is wrong with this latest plugin?

After I run the OpenAI pretranslate task, my file is still empty. I get no error message but my OpenAI account is not being charged. The operation doesn't seem to be accessing OpenAI.

The OpenAI function works within the Editor. It will populate segments when I place my cursor in a new segment. But the batch task will not fill in any segments in the file.

I am stuck with this massive project and NEED to be able to use the OpenAI pretranslate function as I am a project manager who needs to send this out to my translator today!

Thank you for your help.

    "Question improvement suggestion": Please provide the exact version of Trados Studio and the OpenAI plugin you are using. Also, if possible, share the exact error message you receive when opening Trados.

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

    Hello,

    I understand that you're having trouble with the OpenAI pretranslate function in Trados Studio after an update. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    Step 1: Verify that you have the latest version of both Trados Studio and the OpenAI plugin. You can check for updates within the application.

    Step 2: Try disabling and then re-enabling the OpenAI plugin. This can sometimes resolve issues related to updates.

    Step 3: Check your OpenAI account to ensure it's properly linked to Trados Studio and that there are no issues with your account that could be preventing the pretranslate function from working.

    Step 4: If the issue persists, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the OpenAI plugin. This can help reset any settings that may have been changed during the update.

    Step 5: If none of the above steps work, you may need to revert to a previous version of Trados Studio and the OpenAI plugin that you know worked with the pretranslate function.

    I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

  • Older versions of the OpenAi plugin are not available. I cannot restore the old plugin. It turns out the only update I performed was the plugin update. I am up to date on Trados and cannot revert back to an earlier version since there isn't one.

  • Hi  

    I suspect this advice comes too late but with regards to the unsigned plugins have you tried the solution that was outlined here 

    I hope it helps for future reference
