Will installing the SR3 update remove the Review tool I have installed (Antidote) to check my syntax?

Michel Mullejans

Season's greetings to all DL Trados users, my fellow translators.

Here is my concern. After all the complaints read on line about crashes and disabled Studio versions, I must confess that I have been leery of installing SR3 on my version of SDL Trados Studio Freelance.

To this day, I still use SR2, respectful of the adage "Never change horses in the middle of the river," right?  I live out West.

I have recently started working in GroupShare;  it could be that an SR3 installation actually becomes helpful in certain cases. I am not sure what SR3 was supposed to correct--or add.

However--it took forever, and the help of this forum, to install a very useful tool, as syntactical checking tool developed in Canada--Antidote. It appears of my Review menu, to the right of the Check speliing/Verify tab (Quality Assurance) tools. I use it constantly.

I am hoping Paul Filkin will see this post, and let me know:  Will installing SR3 force me to reinstall Antidote? Do I run the risk of losing anything else? If Antidote is no longer present after an installation of SR3, could I be reminded of the procedure necessary to put it back in place?

Thank you.

    Hi ,

    I don't think any installation of Studio will cause you to reinstall Antidote. I don't think you'll even have to reinstall the plugin, although if you do it's a 15 second task.

    I just upgraded my version of Antidote to 5.1 last week and ran some tests on Studio 2017 SR1 and all is well. I have no reason to expect anything to go wrong for you. What was your problem with the original installation?

    Thank very much, Paul. The plugin installation may be a 15 second task if you know exactly what to do. As I remember it, I had to look high and low for basic SDL instructions, that is, until you answered a query on this forum, and made things clear; the few instructions I was able to find until then seemed to be awkward translations, written in "tradospeak" as I call it; they were vague and ambiguous, a bit of a runaround. I am glad you think installing SR3 will not affect the installation of this plugin. I will install SR3 as soon as possible. Does SR3 make Studio 2015 more adaptable to GroupShare? Does it remove certain limitations to GS participation, present in SR2? If you or a colleague have some information about this particular point, it will be useful to me if you were to share it with me--and I am sure to many of us here in the Community. Merci !
