so, If you want to make a primary tool, use C# (SDL's API)
SDL Trados Studio itself and SDL Trados Studios's PlugIns are all made with C#
AutoHotkey is.. a toy.

Thanks! Yes, I remember you had that app

no, I made it yesterday.

Thanks!

I can hardly manage AutoHotkey, so no C# I'm afraid. ;-)

ah, OK, I was thinking of something else you made a while back, that I had the same problem with: would love to try them out but can't go back to Studio 2017

Try this for now: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/rapid-add-term/1050/

We built a quick fix no questions asked plugin, all working with the public APIs (no hacks), and seems to work correctly.

Nop, SDL, still, has rooms to improve.

at least, SDL should prevent duplication.
That is just NonSense...

It's a quick fix krupa and does exactly what it says on the tin. If you want to add other languages, decide what to do with the term, have it check for duplicates, then you can still use the out of the box solution.

But for users who wish to very quickly run through adding terms because they add more detail later, or manage their terminology later this still has some value.  I imagine if you are adding terms as you work you'll be shown if the term exists since the source will be marked so you won't use this method to add a target synonym.

We could refine this again, but for now it's fast, does what it says and we can see what users actually want in addition to this and refine it for, hopefully, inclusion in the product in a future release.
