<p><strong>Sam’s TWAS Assistant – Translation Workflow Automation Suite</strong></p>
<p><strong>Short Description</strong>: Transform Trados Studio into an AI-powered hub. TWAS unifies your TMs, TBs, and glossaries with Google Gemini & OpenAI (RAG), providing instant live lookups or search (Alt+J), superior context-aware translation, and flexible API/Manual workflows.</p>
<p><strong>Full Description</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Unify Your Resources. Master Your AI.</strong></p>
<p>Sam’s TWAS (Translation Workflow Automation Suite) is not just another AI plugin. It's a complete, centralized powerhouse designed to solve your biggest workflow challenges. It seamlessly integrates your private TMs, TBs, and custom glossaries with the power of generative AI, ensuring the AI adopts your terminology, tone, and style.</p>
<p><strong>Why TWAS is More Powerful Than Standard AI Plugins</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Deep RAG Integration</strong>: TWAS uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to feed the AI with relevant examples from your own resources. This forces the AI to produce translations that are consistent with your past work, dramatically improving quality and accuracy.</p>
<p><strong>Multi-Provider AI</strong>: Don't get locked into one system. TWAS supports both Google Gemini and OpenAI (ChatGPT). You can switch providers and models (like GPT-4o-mini or Gemini 1.5 Flash) at any time.</p>
<p><strong>Dual-Mode Workflow (API vs. Manual)</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>API Mode</strong>: Get lightning-fast translations and enhancements directly in the editor. Ideal for processing segments quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Manual Mode</strong>: Get unparalleled control. TWAS prepares the optimal prompt, but you have the conversation with the AI. This is essential for refining creative, marketing, or legal texts and even works with free AI tiers.</p>
<p><strong>Unified Lookup (Alt+J)</strong>: Stop searching multiple windows. Highlight any text in the source segment and press <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>J</kbd> to instantly query all your active resources—Lexical and Semantic—in one unified, relevance-sorted view.</p>
<p><strong>Core Features</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Lexical Index</strong>: A high-speed concordance engine built from your TMs, TBs, and glossaries for precise, keyword-based search.</p>
<p><strong>Semantic Index</strong>: A powerful, meaning-based search engine that finds paraphrases, synonyms, and contextually relevant examples that lexical search would miss.</p>
<p><strong>Term Extractor</strong>: Mine candidate terminology from your source documents, automatically enriched with context examples from your TMs.</p>
<p><strong>Term Matcher</strong>: Find approved translations for term lists, using both fast lexical matching and context-aware AI.</p>
<p><strong>Powerful AI Ribbon</strong>: A new "TWAS AI" group in the Trados Review tab gives you 11 powerful buttons for API and Manual AI tasks, with or without RAG context.</p>
<p>By eliminating information silos and making your private data the foundation for all AI interaction, TWAS Assistant transforms Trados Studio from a simple CAT tool into a true, personalized Translation Workflow Automation Suite.</p>
