Hello Trados,
I would like to have the option to choose German informal plural for MT. Do you offer that? Example: "You can" could be translated as "Sie können" (formal, singular and plural), "du kannst" (informal, singular) or "ihr könnt" (informal, plural). What I need most of the time is the latter, i. e. informal plural.
Best wishes
This available with the DeepL plugin:
But it's not available with any other MT plugins as far as I'm aware.

Thank you for your fast answer! I have tried DeepL. They only have informal singular ("du"). You cannot choose informal plural ("ihr"). I also asked their support and they answered that they might consider intrducing it in the future.
I heard that Trados NMT also gives you a choice – I thought it was available for German. But judging from your answer, it is only available for other languages at the moment, right?

To be perfectly honest I'm not aware of formality being available for any of the languages in Language Weaver (the product name for what you refer to as Trados NMT). Maybe Arnaud Simoncan confirm this one?

I could not remember where I had seen it, but now I’ve found it. Go to Language Weaver and click the bell symbol; second piece of news:
<New! Linguistic Options are now supported.
, you will be able to configure the Linguistic Options based on your needs, or revert to the default account configuration, as set by your administrator.>
<New! Linguistic Options are now supported.
Indeed... although I don't believe this is anything we can use for your purposes yet for a couple of reasons:
So I don't think this is a solution for you just yet, but it is a work in progress.
