Machine translation plugins for T-window

Hi everybody.

I understand that T-Window is being updated to work with Trados Studio 2024.
The current version only allows selecting file-based translation memories. I was wondering whether it is being planned to also allow selecting NMT plugins such as DeepL or ModernMT.

After all, it does say "Translation Memories and Automated Translation"...

Screenshot of a software interface with a section titled 'Translation Memories and Automated Translation' and a subtext 'Select translation memories and specify whether to include them in lookup search.'

I apologize if I posted this on the wrong forum.
Thanks and kind regards

    You did ;-)  I'll move it in a minute.  Should be in the AppStore Forum and not the Trados Studio -> Machine Translation forum.

    Indeed... probably only because it reused the same menu in Studio.

    Nope.  I guess it could be looked at, but likely a significant amount of work so I can't see that making it to the top of the list any time soon.  That would be my take on it... but perhaps   has a different view?

    If it wasn't for the fact having them in T-Window would allow you to save the results to a TM there would be no point at all... DeepL comes with a Desktop app of its own and I imagine most other providers must be looking at similar capabilities.
