The Studio PowerShell Toolkit on GitHub, is a set of PowerShell scripts designed to automate tasks in Trados Studio. The toolkit interacts with Trados Studio's public API to automate various processes such as, initiating project creation and, updating translation memories with some capabilities when updating existing projects like package management.


Benefit: By automating these tasks, the toolkit helps engineers and project managers reduce manual work, minimise errors, and improve overall efficiency in managing translation projects. This is especially beneficial for teams handling large-scale localisation efforts.

Getting Started:

  • Requirements: Ensure you have a valid Trados Studio license and PowerShell 5 (x86) installed.

By Trados AppStore Team

The ProblemYou need to share files for translation or review and the people you are sharing with don't use Studio, they can't support SDLXLIFF, and they want to use a CAT tool. You also do so much of this you need to have a better way of managing the process. You want to be able to share one XLIFF on a multi-lingual project and have the translators complete the target language.The SolutionThe XLIFF Manager is the solution to this problem as it provides the following core features:- export your Studio projects as vanilla XLIFF 1.2 files- export your Studio projects as Google Polyglot XLIFF files- choose whether the target language should be set or not on export- choose whether you export all the segments in your files or not- import the translated XLIFF files back into Studio and update your Studio projects- map unsupported languages from your clients system in support of the import- generate reports of the changed work- be in control of the end to end process with a project management view in StudioPlanned Enhancements for the future updates- progress bars while waiting for the export/import. Useful for large projects- support for tracked changes in the import- add support for an XLIFF 2.1 export- add support for an SDLXLIFF export (to help with the management of an SDLXLIFF file workflow outside of a package)- we're open to suggestions in the RWS Community!To learn how to use this application, please please check the Documentation tab.
