OK everyone, the boffins at SDL have kindly refrained from answering just yet to give me the opportunity to sort this one out myself and reclaim a modicum of dignity: SDL is converting Language Cloud to 'Weaver' currently and you'll need the relevant plug-in to carry on using the free NMT:

Language Weaver Cloud - Language Solutions | SDL

After having downloaded and installed, restart, go to project settings as per normal to add NMT and a new option "SDL Machine Translation Cloud" will now appear at the bottom of the list. Click on this and Robert is your father's brother.

If a community mod could confirm this I would be really grateful.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for sharing. I am experiencing the same problem with Language Cloud. However, I am not able to log in with my sdl user in order to download Language Weaver Cloud as clicking the Download button will ask me to log in again in an endless loop. If you had the same problem, how did you work around this?

Hi Silvia,

Sorry to hear you're having these issues: Fortunately for me I did not experience the login problem you have described so could download the plug-in first time. I guess you may have to start another thread so a support case can be logged to solve the login issue first. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and good luck!

Chris.

Thanks again, Chris -will definitely post a support request!
