Hello Tracey Samadi

Do you have any error message when trying to start Studio? If yes, please attach a screenshot.

Thank you,

Sorin

It acts like it's going to start (I see the start-up logo), another little box flashes quickly (too fast for me to see what it is) and then nothing. I've tried deleting and then reinstalling and also repairing. I even deactivated the license to see if maybe that was the problem and still the same. Thankfully I have it on another machine (2nd license) so I can work and it starts just fine. It all started when I hit the latest update bell in the software.

I did this and it worked. However, I now have to re-install my plug-ins. I have tried repeatedly to install the Google API validator but it won't work. I do the full installation but it does not appear in "Installed plug-ins". Also, the Ctrl+Return shortcut no longer functions.

Hello Alan Lounds Jones

Renaming the files from the article has reset Studio to default settings so the shortcut needs to be set up again from Studio > File > Options > Keyboard Shortcuts. 

Regarding the Google API validator app try to copy it in the following location on your computer, while Studio is closed: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\16\Plugins\Packages\

Then try to open Studio again and see if the app is installed.

Thank you,

Sorin

Shortcut fixed.

If you mean the file Sdl.Community.GoogleApiValidator.exe, I did that to no effect.

Just on this:

It never will because this app is not  plugin!  It's a standalone tool on your desktop to validate an API key.

OK. I now realize it was MT Enhanced Plugin I needed. I install it and restart Studio but it doesn't appear in "Installed plug-ins".

This may be because we are still suffering with an unresolved problem from the weekend that prevents users from downloading apps from the appstore.  When you install it the integrated appstore probably won't be able to fetch the details and display it correctly.

The real test will be can you use it?    So does it appear in your list of TM Providers when you try to add it to your project?

If it doesn't then it has not installed and I'd question how you installed it, or how you thought you installed it?  So is it in here:

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\16\Plugins\Packages\MT Enhanced Plugin for Trados Studio.sdlplugin

And also here?:

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\16\Plugins\Unpacked\MT Enhanced Plugin for Trados Studio\

It is not in either.

There's your answer then, you have not installed it.  What did you do to make you think this was installed?

I got a message saying I should reboot my computer. Now when I try to download the file from the app store, I get this message:

I am signed into my SDL account. I don't Know if I have to do anything else.

Still getting the message "Download failed" message when I try to download MT Enhanced Plugin from the Appstore (see image in message I sent 15 hours ago).
