Authentication Validation: Test your configuration using the Test Connection feature.

Managing Connections: Each successful connection is listed for future reference and can be edited or deleted.

2. Prompts

Out-of-the-box predefined prompts include:

• Default
• Translation
• Formal Translation
• Multiple Translation
• Reduced Length
• No 3rd Person Singular Pronouns
• Refine Translations

Managing Prompts: You can manage prompts by editing or deleting them. Any updates will be listed within Trados Copilot - AI Assistant.

To add prompts:

• Prompt Name: User-defined for easy reference
• Prompt Text: An instruction given to generate a specific response

3.Search Options:

You can enable various features that impact behavior and output:

• Ignore translated segments: Only generate output for segments that are Not Translated or Draft
• Ignore locked segments: Skip segments with a locked status
• Enable Terminology-aware Translation Suggestions: Incorporate terminology context for accurate translations
• Include target segment with the translation request: Use existing translations as context
• Include tags in the Translation Suggestions: Preserve tag markup from source and target content
• Use In-Processing Caching: Select this option to reuse translations already obtained from the AI provider. The In-process cache will be reset when you start Trados Studio.

4.Search Results

This only applies to the Batch Pre-translate task. You have an option to leverage from OpenAI's translations either as part of your initial translation or alternatively as part of your revision phase. During revision, you may want to automate a batch replace to update some of your existing translations, using refined prompts for enhanced quality and accuracy.

In summary, you can either:

• Supplement TM: OpenAI can complete translations that were not translated using your Translation Memory (TM), working alongside your TM for a fully translated file.
• Prioritize OpenAI: OpenAI can replace existing translations, even those from your TM, with its own for improved accuracy translations that you may have validated prior.

Batch Pre-translation is managed by:

• Status setting for "Ignore translated segments"
• Values set for "Assign Match value" compared against the "Minimum Match Value" set within Batch Pre-translate

Examples:

Example 1: Batch Pre-translate Task with Minimum Match value set to 75%, OpenAI Assigned Match Value to 100%, and "Ignore translated segments" enabled.

Result: Confirmed segments pre-translated from TM stay unchanged. Remaining segments in draft/unconfirmed state get overwritten with OpenAI translations.

Example 2: Batch Pre-translate Task with Minimum Match value set to 75%, OpenAI Assigned Match Value to 100%, and "Ignore translated segments" disabled.

Result: All segments, overwritten with OpenAI translations because "Ignore translated segments" was disabled.

Example 3: Batch Pre-translate Task with Minimum Match value set to 75%, OpenAI Assigned Match Value to 99%, and "Ignore translated segments" enabled. In the SDLXLIFF there are also 100% fuzzy match value segments that are not confirmed.

Result: Confirmed segments pre-translated from TM stay unchanged. Segments in draft/unconfirmed state or with a fuzzy match equal to or less than 99% are overwritten with OpenAI translations. Segments that had 100% TM match but unconfirmed, are not overwritten by OpenAI because the 100% TM mach is higher than the OpenAI Assigned Match Value of 99%.

Working with OpenAI in Trados Studio

You can engage with OpenAI in Trados Studio in the following ways:

1.Translation Provider

Use OpenAI to retrieve and apply translations through the Editor's Translation Results Window. Automate tasks like Analysis and Pre-translation to boost productivity.

Batch Pre-translate Workflow Support:

• Incremental

First, review translations obtained from initial Batch Pre-Translate tasks.

Then, run a second batch task to apply OpenAI for refined translations.

• New Batch Task: Pre-translate Files with OpenAI for Trados

To use some OpenAI features effectively, translations must be applied to SDLXLIFF files. Therefore to support a fully automation approach that supports OpenAI being leveraged despite with other providers are simultaneously being listed, we recommend you create a custom batch task:

-Initially use Pre-Translate to leverage translations from other listed providers.

-Within the same process, add Pre-translate Files with OpenAI to refine these translations based on your preferential configurations.

2.Trados Copilot - AI Assistant

AI Assistant is a great companion when it comes to working with your LLM interactively.

It offers extended features such as:

• Alternative custom suggestions
• Specific prompts and settings
• Highlighting translated terms
• Visual tracking of changes

Frequent Questions and Answers

Q: What can I do if I am having issues connecting?

A: Check if you have a paid OpenAI API account; you should be able to confirm this from here. You can also check your API key that you created from here, and added this to the Model connection settings. For further assistance, review the log files: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI provider for Trados\Logs

Q: How can I tell if a segment was translated using OpenAI?

A: When you have an SDLXLIFF file open in the Editor View, users will see a blue NMT in the middle Context View with details confirming the provider name. You can identify it via the Provider Name being set to "OpenAI provider for Trados."

Q: What is the default status of my segments if I use OpenAI?

A: Segments will be in draft state and will need confirmation.

Q: How can I set segments to confirmed?

A: While there is no built-in feature for this, you can use the Advanced Display Filter against all segments that have the origin set as "Neural Machine Translation." Once filtered, you can either batch select the segments to change status or use the Segment Status Switcher available via the Integrated RWS AppStore.

Q: Which terminology providers are supported for terminology-aware translation?

A: All terminology providers are supported, provided they offer recognised terms when in the Editor View.

Q: I have multiple terminology providers and recognised terms listed. Which one will be used for terminology awareness?

A: When multiple terms are recognised, the AI prioritises and selects the term to be applied based on discretion.

Q: What do I need to do for my terms to be used for OpenAI translation?

A: Regardless of your selected prompt, Terminology-aware Translation Suggestions needs to be enabled. However, we recommend that you keep your prompt scope updated for future reference. Therefore, you may want to reference any dependencies on terms for clarity.

Q: Can I have more than one instance of OpenAI listed as a provider?

A: Yes, you can. For output comparison, it’s best to list your primary OpenAI instance under Project Settings and review the initial OpenAI translation via the Translation Results Window. For alternative translations and comparisons, add your second instance within Trados Copilot - AI Assistant.

Q: Does OpenAI support track changes?

A: Yes, this feature is supported within Trados Copilot - AI Assistant.

Q: What if I want to update translations as part of a review?

A: You can either apply the revised changes as part of a Batch Pre-translate Task or interactively within Trados Copilot - AI Assistant. Once you define the type of change, use an updated prompt and ensure "Include target segments with the translation request" is enabled.

Q: Why is the output the same even after changing settings or prompts?

A: The output might be cached. Disable "Use In-Processing Caching" in the search options to see the changes.

Q: Are logs available?

A: Yes, logs are located at: `C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Trados AppStore\OpenAI provider for Trados\Logs`.
