Also, ModernMT definitely isn't cheap.

Will have to try out SDL's NMT offering one of these days and report back!

Do I have NMT (I'm guessing that means Neural Machine Translation?) if I have subscribed to Language Cloud? Or is this to be subscribed elsewhere?

Also is SDL's Adaptive MT confidential? Nobody will have access to it other than me? This is an important issue for me since I must respect my client's Confidentiality Agreements. A non-confidential service is a no-go for me, which obviously rules out Google Translate.

Yes, ModernMT can, to a certain extent. I think the engine used in the 'MyMemory Pro' SDL App (which can be used inside Studio) is either the same or similar to the ModernMT (i.e. adaptive) one. I am currently in contact with the developers of ModernMT, but am not yet 100% sure how they relate/differ. Will post more info if and when I get some!

DeepL (which is one of the absolute best in terms of quality, at least in my pairs: Dutch-English) can be used in Studio, via an SDL app, but is not adaptive. The same applies to Google, although Google has also developed something adaptive, if I remember right, called 'AutoML' ( [url removed] ).

I think Microsoft also has an adaptive MT system (you can also use in Studio via an SDL app), and train with your own TMXs.

That is, lots to play with!

Thanks for the info Michael. Do you know if DeepL is confidential? I wouldn't be breaking any client confidentiality agreements by using it?

Hi Chung,
The solution I have used many times to deal with similar situation is as follows:
1. During translation take a note which segment need to be fixed
2. Once translation is done. Save Target As an XML file (this is the key factor if impossible don’t go on)
3. Open the XML file in a text editor (like Notepad++)
all your tags are shown as plain text
4. Search for the tags to be fixed and replace source text with your translation
5. Save the file and deliver.
As said above this can only work if you can save your target as an XML file,
Good luck

Hi Amnon,
Thank you for your advice! Unfortunately I couldn't use this method this time but I'll save your advice as a future tip. :)

Post title: Try installing 2019 SR01 from SDL website

Hi, Gisley!

Where did you downloaded the SDL Trados Studio 2019 from? If you go to your SDL Account you will see a note like this:

"Note: If you have SDL MultiTerm 2019 installed alongside SDL Trados Studio 2019, you must also upgrade MultiTerm to the latest cumulative update (SDL MultiTerm 2019 CU1) when upgrading to Trados Studio 2019 SR1."

So, instead of installing only the SDL Studio 2019, I would go directly to SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR1 download link and install it from there. It worked for me, since I also had the two versions installed in my computer. I chose to delete 2015 and 2017, and keep 2019 only.

Ah! Don´t forget to download the SDL MultiTerm 2019 CU1 Desktop Installer, too!

I hope it helps.

Abraços,

Sonia Cunha

...but I can see Termbase features (about/statistics/status) and term recognition works in Trados.
I get the following error messages when trying to open a Termbase : "Impossible to establish a connection to unknown SDL MultiTerm server" and then "Failed to activate view Termes".
It happens on all my Termbases and didn't use to happen before. I've tried to re-install Multiterm but with no effect... Any ideas ?

Post title: Update: deactivated Language Cloud subscription after seeing no improvements from batch training

So, I tried to batch train the so-called "Adaptive" MT using the add-on but after about 40,000 of training I saw absolutely no difference apart from maybe 5 or 6 words in a 20,000 word document. Since the baseline output is next to useless and the training seems to do nothing after 40,000 words (how many words training does it take to start to show up?) I think any "training" needs to done for free. If the baseline output were good to start with I might consider it but, being as poor as it is, I decided to deactivate the subscription instead.

DeepL on the other hand, now that is something...

Hi friends,
I am having the same problem. The poster was kind enough to mention:

I fixed the problem finally after trying a million different things over the last five hours. The problem fixed when I pressed on "Reset Window Layout" in the View menu.

Could you please tell me where to find this "Reset Window Layout". I would appreciate if you could describe in detail as I am not much tech-savvy.

I have Windows 7 and Trados Studio 2015.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Gisley,
I had exactly the same problem, same error message, after a faulty Windows 10 update. I was told by Paul Filkin that it was due to a corrupted Windows 10 install.
I was only able to solve the problem reinstalling Window 10 from scratch.
No other problems with Studio since then.

Post title: Usig the Use?

First to make sure your termbase is healthy open it as a standalone termbase using Multiterm.
If this function correctly,
Make sure you are using the "Use" command of the termbase settings in Studio. Go to "Project Setting">"Termbases"
select the "Use" command (see attached screenshot)
select "File-based Multiterm Termbase"
this should open the Windows Explorer and enable you to locate the termbase and open it.
