Hello,  

It seems you're encountering a connection issue while trying to configure the OpenAI provider for Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:  

**Step 1:** **Check API Key and Account Status**  

- Ensure that you have a valid OpenAI API key and that your account is active. You can verify this by visiting the OpenAI billing overview page.  

**Step 2:** **Review the Logs**  

- Check the log files located at `C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI provider for Trados\Logs` for any specific error messages that might provide more insight into the connection failure.  

**Step 3:** **Update Trados Studio and the Plugin**  

- Make sure that both Trados Studio and the OpenAI provider plugin are updated to their latest versions. You can check for updates within the application.  

**Step 4:** **Check for Firewall or Network Issues**  

- Ensure that there are no firewalls or network configurations blocking the connection. If you're in a corporate environment, you may need to consult your IT department.  

**Step 5:** **Reset Trados Studio Settings**  

- As a last resort, you can reset your Trados Studio settings. This can be done by renaming the `Studio16` folder located at `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\App Data\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\`.  

**Step 6:** **Enable TLS 1.2**  

- Since the error message mentions a method not having an implementation, it may be related to TLS settings. Ensure that TLS 1.2 is enabled on your system. You can download a registry fix for this if necessary.  

If you follow these steps and still encounter issues, please provide any additional error messages or logs that may help in diagnosing the problem further.

Obviously my question is to complex for AI to process and so suggested steps are generic.


Just noticed that AI is Trained on 

Incorrect paths suggested for OpenAI Provide for Trados v. 1.2.18.0.

LOGS: 
Suggested path:  `C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI provider for Trados\Logs`
Actual path:  C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI Provider for Trados Studio\Logs

SETTINGS
Suggested:  `C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI provider for Trados\Settings`
Actual path:  C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI Provider for Trados Studio\Settings

Some comments regarding steps.: 
Step 1. - same key works in Studio 2022 plugin

Step 2. Log - not much seen here, other that plugin version is lower than minversion: 
OpenAI.Provider.ApplicationInstance: 2025-11-28 12:09:48.0087 Info Method: "LoadTelemetryService", : {"PlugInName":"OpenAI Provider for Trados Studio", "Version":"1.2.18.0", "Description":"OpenAI Provider for Trados Studio", "Author":"Trados AppStore Team", "RequiredProduct":{"name":"TradosStudio", "minversion":"18.1", "maxversion":"18.1.9"}, "Include":{"Files":["OpenAI.Provider.API.dll","OpenAI.Provider.dll.config","OpenAI.TerminologyScoreCalculator.dll","Trados.Telemetry.dll","Trados.Telemetry.dll.config","Trados.Terminology.API.dll","SegmentComparer.dll","Polly.dll","Polly.Core.dll","Microsoft.Bcl.TimeProvider.dll","Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces.dll"]}}

Step 3: Studio an d plugin are up to date.

Step 4: Plugin in Studio 2022 SR2 is working with same settings. Also suggestion si  very vague and doesn't give a hint what to check in FW or network settings.

Step 5 and Step 6: I didn't do them.
