Hello there, I'm still new to SDL as I only used it for 2 or 3 small projects (within 2 months) so far. But I am wondering about the NMT. I've seen the dedicated videos and it looks like we don't have a choice of AI. All you have to do is go to project settings and add Cloud resources. Is this really the case? Thanks! Best, Pia

Where did you read that?

So, you are talking about different things here. NMT is Neural Machine Translation. AI is Artificial Intelligence. NMT may well be AI under the hood but it's not AI in the way OpenAI or Gemini is.
When you go to your project settings and select cloud resources this gives you access to several things:
The NMT providers for a Translation Engine are currently these (accessed through your cloud capabilities in Studio):
In the RWS AppStore here, https://appstore.rws.com/, you have an even greater selection of NMT providers that plugin to Trados Studio. I won't list them... too many.
AI providers are a little harder to explain. You can find AI used for NMT in some of the existing providers such as Custom.MT, Intento, RyStudio and even the Trados AppStore Team through the AI Professional plugin. However, only one of these, the AI Professional, can give you access to AI in a way that would allow you to interact with it and create custom prompts to change the way your translation is provided; it can also ensure that your terminology preferences in a termbase is used within the translations. So it's a little bit different from the way NMT is delivered via a TM Provider.
Probably a bit tricky to understand but if you start to play with these resources a bit you'll soon understand.

Thank you, Paul. Have a good day!
Hello Paul,
That's exactly the point: "
If you are using the desktop version of Studio, which I assume you do, you download the respective app from the AppStore. There are tons, like DeepL, ModernMT, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and many more.
When you set up a project, you add the MT provider like a translation memory in the project settings. (You don't need an app for the Language Weaver MT, that is built into the core program.) You need a subscription or account with the MT provider, of course.
These standard questions, by the way, are well covered by tutorials which a normal Google search will lead you to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhP-Q1m9gyk
