I was wondering if you could please advise whether it’s possible to integrate Gemini, DeepL, or ChatGPT into Trados Studio — and, if so, which of these tools are currently supported.

Hi Shuchang Liu , There are two main ways to bring NMT/LLM capabilities into Trados Studio:
1) Translation Provider API (classic integration)
- Use this when you want your engine to appear in the Translation Results window and behave like any other translation provider (pre-translate, interactive lookups, etc.). Your service can connect to whatever in the backend, TM, MT, NMT, LLM provider...
- Docs: https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/apiconcepts/translationmemory/translation_provider_plugin.html
- Samples: https://github.com/RWS/trados-studio-api-samples
- Examples:
- DeepL: open-source provider from our community: https://github.com/RWS/Sdl-Community/tree/master/DeepL%20Translation%20Provider
- You can implement other engines (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT/OpenAI) the same way if they expose an API.
2) AI Companion API (LLM-centric, editor-first experiences)
- Use this when you want chat/prompt workflows, explain/simplify, context-aware suggestions, etc., directly in the Editor.
- Docs: https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/articles/hints_tips/AI_Companion/AICompanion.html
- Sample: https://github.com/RWS/trados-studio-api-samples/blob/master/LanguagePlatform/Sdl.SDK.LanguagePlatform.Samples.AICompanion/AICompanion.cs
What’s supported today
- DeepL: is already available via the community plugin (link above) and via the RWS AppStore. You’ll need your own DeepL API key.
- OpenAI: We already ship a plugin for OpenAI, also available from the AppStore: https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/249
- Gemini, other LLMs: We don’t ship built-in providers for these in Studio 'currently'. They can be integrated via either the Translation Provider API (to act like NMT) or the AI Companion API (to expose LLM features). You’ll need your own API credentials. You may also find third-party plugins on the RWS AppStore: https://appstore.rws.com/
Minimum Trados Studio versions
- Translation Provider plugins: Most current community/partner providers target Trados Studio 2024. Check each plugin’s README/AppStore page for the exact minimum supported version.
- AI Companion API: Requires Trados Studio 2024 (or later).
- If you are just getting started, the make reference to here to understand how to request a developers license etc...: https://developers.rws.com/
