Just to say that I expressed the very same idea during a talk in Luxembourg in October, recommending it as the way forward. But I have no further ideas on its implementation (other than the slow way that you have outlined).

Hi, 
Unfortunately, I can't help you with AI Assistant, and passing the context of the document and termbase to the prompt can be difficult in general.
However, if you want to export the entire text and terms from the termbase in the document, and then import the AI translation, you can check out the TransAIde plugin. This plugin does just do that.

Thank you Dariusz Adamczak ,

Your solution makes a lot of sense, but (cc:Daniel Brockmann ) I notice there are a lot of attempts at the moment to export content from Trados Studio in order to translate it within context using AI or MT systems, then re-import it into Trados. Michael Beijer's “Supervertaler” is another variation of the theme. I have been tinkering around with the XLIFF export function for the same purpose for almost a year now.

I think the message is clear: While there is a lot of utility in segmentation still, the time for context has arrived. This is a functionality that CAT systems should provide natively – and will, I am sure. The market will dictate it. The competitive advantage of being able to do so is overwhelming.

I am currently using Trados to translate with MT (more reliable than AI), export to XLIFF, hand the whole file over to an AI agent and re-import the translations. Then I work in Trados to do the QA steps or send projects off to co-workers. So while Trados is still the hub of my translation tech stack (file conversions/ file types!), the actual translation happens more and more outside of it. I wish it could move back in.
