Hello,

You can have a look on the ApplyStudioProjectTemplate solution which is manipulating project templates. It can be found on GitHub https://github.com/sdl/Sdl-Community/tree/master/ApplyStudioProjectTemplate . Indeed, I am currently working on getting settings from the project template without "digging" too much through XML, in order to do this it is needed to first create a project, assign the template to it and after that you can get the settings from the template through Api's: Sdl.ProjectAutomation.Core, Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased, Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemoryApi. In order to add the template to a project and get a part of the settings from it you can guide from the following sample code:

ProjectTemplateReference projTemplate = new ProjectTemplateReference(applyProjectTemplate.Uri.LocalPath); //applyProjectTemplate.Uri.LocalPath represents the local path of the template from the user's local machine.

var projectInfo = new ProjectInfo
{
Name = "ProjectTemplateTWindow",
SourceLanguage = sourceLanguage
LocalProjectFolder = projectPath,
TargetLanguages = targetLanguage
};

// Create project based by the default template selected by the user.
var project = new FileBasedProject(projectInfo, projTemplate);
project.Save();

// Get settings from the project template
var settings = project.GetSettings();
var tmSettings = settings.GetSettingsGroup<TranslationMemorySettings>();

// Set the Penalties settings from the template
MulitplyTranslationPenalty = tmSettings.MultipleTranslationsPenalty.Value;
MissingFormattingPenalty = tmSettings.MissingFormattingPenalty.Value;
DifferentFormattingPenalty = tmSettings.DifferentFormattingPenalty.Value;
AutoLocalizationPenalty = tmSettings.AutoLocalizationPenalty.Value;
TextReplacementPenalty = tmSettings.TextReplacementPenalty.Value;

// Set the Search settings from the template
MinScore = tmSettings.TranslationMinimumMatchValue.Value;
MaxResults = tmSettings.TranslationMaximumResults.Value;
MinConcordanceScore = tmSettings.ConcordanceMinimumMatchValue.Value;
MaxConcordanceResults = tmSettings.ConcordanceMaximumResults.Value;

With kind regards,
