What you can do with this SDK
This page provides a quick overview of what you can do with the Translation Memory API.
The Translation Memory (TM) SDK allows you to create applications to automate a number of processes for TM-related operations. Examples are as follows:
- Programmatically create file- or server-based TMs.
- Develop a command-line application that iterates through a folder/sub-folder structure and performs a batch import of multiple TMX files into a TM. Such an application can also used to perform scheduled, regular import/export operations.
- Create an application that looks up segments or strings in one or several TMs.
- Develop a plug-in that allows you to access 3rd party translation providers from Trados Studio, e.g. use an Web-based machine translation system, or simple, delimited text files.
- Integrate common TM lookup and editing functionality into a 3rd party application.
- Develop a Web-based application that allows you to perform searches in a number of server-based TMs. Create a script that runs scheduled maintenance tasks to keep TMs lean and efficient.
This SDK features a number of usage examples that illustrate how to develop against the Translation Memory API. All examples provided have been written in C#.
