Hello!
I'd like to use Google AutoML in SDL Trados Studio, and as far as I understand, SDL needs to support Google 3.0 plugin, so that the model can be trained and sent back to my Trados project without me going through extra manual steps of writing a code, importing the data, exporting the data, etc.
So, does SDL support Google 3.0 plugin? If so, where can I find more info on how to implement it?
You can handle this already using this plugin from the appstore:
https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/googlecloud-n-glossary/1069/
We also plan to release an update to the MT Enhanced plugin in due course that will support Google V2/V3 and Microsoft Translator.

Thanks a lot, Paul!
This update to the MT Enhanced plugin sounds cool :) When can we expect it to be released?
I'd say within weeks... not months.

With all this added functionality, do you have any estimates on how much it's going to cost?
Well... I think that depends on how much of the functionality you use. We are not charging for the plugin but you do have to pay Google for cloud storage for glossaries and models as well as fees for model training... and then you also have the usage costs. I trained a single language pair for a single domain with around 50k TUs, and we used a few glossaries to help with the development and it cost around € 220.
I think it's hard to put a single figure on this because we don't know what your "average" user will use, and because the billing from Google is a bit of a mystery until you see the estimates of the costs coming through on your account.

I see, thanks for your answers, Paul!
Hi Paul! Any news on the MT Enhanced plugin? We're really looking forward to trying it out :)
Thanks for the "push"! I actually have it on my todo list to publish this week and still didn't get around to it. We're going to release this as a Beta and as a separate plugin that you can only run if you remove the current production version. But this is easy enough using the appstore integration since this is a 2021 plugin only. Once it's out of Beta we'll replace the current production version with this one and that will end any temporary confusion it may cause.
It uses the same code base which is why you can't them together... but as you have the ability to use the old version inside the new one it should be simple to run the old way if you need to.
I'll try to get this done before the end of the day ad will update this post when it's ready.

I just published this to the appstore:
https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/mt-enhanced-beta-for-trados-studio-2021-only/1146/
I will update the wiki... slowly... but if you're familiar with the requirements for working with Google AutoML I'm sure you'll know what to do with these options:
If you don't... then you have quite a bit of reading to do!!
