Trados 2024 and LanguageTool

Whenever a new version of Trados Studio comes out there is that tunnel, that dark patch to get through until Darek publishes an update of his LanguageTool add-on.

This time it was painful enough to look for an alternative solution, and there is one, also free. It's not as convenient as Darek's plug-in/add-on, but it works, so I wanted to share it here.

Part of the Okapi Toolkit is a QA tool called CheckMate. You can set up LT in Checkmate (I'm running it on my machine, that at least works fine.), then add the SDLXLIFF files from the target folder of your project to the “Session” in CheckMate and in Session settings select “Re-check documents automatically when they change.” Every time you save your Trados Studio file(s), you will get an updated list of issues LanguageTool or any of the other QA elements in CheckMate found.

I know it's not ideal, but it is way better than anything else I could come up with. Here's the download page: https://okapiframework.org/wiki/index.php

Or maybe somebody here on the forum knows a better solution?

    In that case please make sure you completely delete the unpacked folders from your old ones.  I did think this was a problem that was resolved in the latest CU1 and now unpacked folders should be properly removed, but I think this could be related to you having installed a Beta that didn't come from the appstore in the first place as Dariusz was being helpful in providing you with an early build.

    So, best thing is remove the plugins manually from these locations:

    ...\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18\Plugins\Packages\

    ...\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18\Plugins\Unpacked\

    Make sure there is no trace of them left!!  Then install again using the integrated appstore in Trados Studio.
