GroupShare PowerShell Toolkit Summary

Overview:

The GroupShare API PowerShell Toolkit allows users to automate operations within GroupShare using the REST API. This toolkit is designed to streamline tasks such as project management, resource handling, and user administration through the PowerShell console.

Toolkit Components:

Modules: PowerShell modules such as AuthenticationHelper, ProjectServerHelper, ResourcesHelper, UserManagerHelper, and more. Each module contains functions to handle specific GroupShare operations.
Scripts: Sample scripts like Sample_Roundtrip.ps1 demonstrate practical usage of the toolkit for common tasks such as creating and managing projects.
Samples: Example files included to illustrate typical automation workflows.

Getting Started:

Requirements:
PowerShell version 7.4 or higher installed on your system.
Access to a GroupShare server with valid credentials for interaction.
Installation:
Download the toolkit files.
Unblock the downloaded files as needed.
Create necessary directories in your PowerShell user folder, such as Documents\PowerShell\Modules.
Copy the relevant script and module files to the designated directories.

Configuration:

Server Configuration:
Set the $server parameter in each module's .psm1 file or specify the server details when importing the modules using the -ArgumentList parameter.
Authentication:
Configure the Sample_Roundtrip.ps1 script or other scripts with your GroupShare server URL and credentials (username and password) for authentication.

Running Scripts:

Open PowerShell 7.4 or higher.
Set the execution policy to Unrestricted if required (Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser).
Navigate to the folder where the script (e.g., Sample_Roundtrip.ps1) is stored.
Run the script using .\Sample_Roundtrip.ps1.

Module Usage:

Import individual modules or load them all using:

powershell
Copy code
Import-Module -Name AuthenticationHelper -ArgumentList "https://your.groupshare.server/uri"

Once imported, functions within each module can be executed for automating various GroupShare operations.

Help & Troubleshooting:

Use the Get-Help cmdlet to access detailed documentation for each function after the module is imported.
Ensure all file paths are correctly configured, and the required modules are available in the Documents\PowerShell\Modules directory.

studioViews

By Trados AppStore Team

ProblemSometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don't want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.ResolutionThe solution to all of these requirements is studioViews. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).

pub2xml

By Trados AppStore Team

This application is based on the current version of an open source project providing support for the translation of MS Publisher files (*.pub). The application can convert a PUB file into an easily handled XML file. Once translated it can convert the translated XML back to the PUB format. In addition to simply creating XML the application can also generate a PDF of the file in context and this can be included with the XML as a reference file in a Studio Package so the translator has a better idea of what they are translating. The zip file you download also contains a sample sdlftsettings file for this XML as well as instructions on how to use it. Full details of the application can be found in this blog article. Remember, this is an open source project so if you are a developer and you use the code you must credit the project, and if you make any interesting enhancements it would be good if you "paid them forward" and updated the project accordingly. Details of how to access the project are in the ReadMe.pdf downloaded with the app, also in the blog article above.

projectTermExtract

By Trados AppStore Team

This projectTermExtract plugin adds a very neat feature to Studio allowing you to extract term candidates from your Project, or specific files within a project. The plugin works by adding a file containing the terms to Studio for translation, and then converts the file to a termbase and adds it to your project.The plugin also provides for some simple refining of the extraction using a very simple and visual interface that makes the process of term extraction incredibly simple, and enjoyable to work with.If you want to use these terms in your own termbase then this can be easily achieved by using the Glossary Converter, or alternatively you can provide the termbase as a MultiTerm termbase or in another format as a nice value add solution for your customer.To learn how to use this application, please check the Documentation tab.

applyTM Template

By Trados AppStore Team

ProblemDo you maintain many file-based Translation Memories? Have you ever had to update the segmentation rules, abbreviation lists, variable lists, or ordinal follower lists in Trados Studio? Have you ever wondered how to get all of these details from a Language Resource Template? If you have, then you'll be familiar with the effort that is required to make changes as they need to be applied across all of your Translation Memories one at a time; and with the inability to get at these resources once they are part of a template.SolutionThe applyTM Template application removes the repetitive effort that is required to make these changes. Now you can maintain one Language Resource Template and apply the changes to all of your Translation Memories in one go!It works by selecting the template and then adding all of your TMs (browse or drag and drop) in one go; check the resources you wish to be updated based on your template; then click apply. You can maintain resources for multiple languages in the same template, and the application will show you visually which languages were changed or not.You can also export these resources to Excel where it might be easier to carry out maintenance and then import them back into your template afterwards. And of course, you can import the resources from your Translation Memories into a Language Resource Template.To learn how to use this application, please check the Documentation tab.

YourProductivity

By Trados AppStore Team

RWS's #YourProductivity app counts the keystrokes you save with Trados Studio's many productivity-boosting features, and converts them into points. These points were originally used as part of a competition RWS ran for prizes but that was finished a while ago. We decided to keep the application because the concepts are quite interesting if you wanted to see how much you can increase your points by making more use of the productivity features available. Something for you to use, to improve your personal techniques when operating Studio technology.

XML Reader

By Trados AppStore Team

This XML Reader application provides a simple way to convert the XML analysis reports generated by Studio to Excel.Sometimes translators are sent the XML files alongside the sdlxliff files and no project package which means they are unable to easily read the analysis. This application supports a simple drag and drop of the xml files and conversion to excel of as many reports as you like.To learn how to use this application, please check the Documentation tab.

By Trados AppStore Team
