Purpose

Use SDL Trados GroupShare as LanguageResource while editing a segment in translate5.

Bootstrap Class

editor_Plugins_GroupShare_Init
TypeCore plug-in (delivered with translate5 core)

Basic usage

translate5 can integrate SDL Trados GroupShare-TMs as LanguageResource for editing a segment.

Existing GroupShare TMs are listed in the LanguageResource overview of translate5 from the start (= they  are NOT listed in the "Add"-list for LanguageResource). GroupShare-TMs that once have been available, but aren't available any more, will be removed from the list (and from the tasks they had been assigned to). The ProjectManager(s) of the affected task(s) will get an email that lists the names both of the removed GroupShare-TMs and of the tasks the TM(s) had been assigned to.
The GroupShare-TMs then can be assigned to tasks in the task properties of the task overview.

Whenever a user needs access to GroupShare (eg. while editing a task that uses GroupShare or for managing LanguageResources), the API will trigger a login into GroupShare. Different users work with different licences; this is a necessary requirement by GroupShare. (Pls note: All users using the licences that we manage are required to use the same translate5 instance.)

If one or more GroupShare-TMs are assigned to a task for reading, on opening a segment they will be searched for matches (fuzzy matches and 100% matches).

Same is true for the concordance search.

On MouseOver the metadata of the matches are shown (including TaskName and TaskGuid from translate5 if they exist).

If one or more GroupShare-TMs are assigned to a task for writing, on saving a segment the segment gets saved to GroupShare (a 100%-match gets updated, otherwise a new TU is added).

To be able to use the GroupShare-TMs, the GroupShare-plugin must be configured.

More about the general use of LanguageResources: see "Language Resources"

Please note:

  • All administrational tasks related to GroupShare (TMs, users, ...) are still done in GroupShare only.
  • Fragments are ignored at the moment (also in concordance search).
  • Concordance search is not taken into account currently.
