If you’re familiar with the product from using it in Word you’ll know Antidote works by adding an Antidote group to the Word ribbon. I think it’s going to prove to be a blessing for any developer looking to integrate a product like this that prefers to use it’s own well developed and ergonomic interface whilst still managing to feel as though it’s a part of Studio so the workflow is uninterrupted.
#INSTALLER ANTIDOTE DANS TRADOS STUDIO 2017 CODE#
As he always does, Romulus has made the source code for his work available for other developers and this can be found here. To make the app work really well in Studio needed the developer, Romulus, to come up with some innovative solutions to improve the workflow and the user experience. Thank you to Angela as well for confirming it’s not going to work in Antidote version 8, so you will need version 9 at least. Then some good feedback from Émile in the SDL Montreal Office and also Julien from Azerty Traductions in France and this helped us shape the app for a good Studio experience. In the end it took a couple of weeks, in-between other things, and we had a Beta plugin. C’est la vie! Sometimes it’s really hard to support our customers… so of course we bought a licence!
All we wanted to do was work on the integration and then support it… something that I think might support them selling more licenses. All our protesting that it was surely in their interests to help us with this as we weren’t even going to use the application ourselves was in vain.
#INSTALLER ANTIDOTE DANS TRADOS STUDIO 2017 FULL#
We used SDL language Cloud for this and it did a pretty good job of making this understandable so we were able to make a start! We then asked for a developer license so we could work on this… but discovered (in French of course) that this would not be possible and we had to purchase a full license. This documentation and even the methods in the code were in French… so the first order of the day was to translate them to English (the documentation, not the methods!).
This worked and they sent me an email in French with a link to the API documentation. They also have an API, but it’s not made public on their website… so this is where our fun starts!įirst I had to ask a French speaking person in our office to speak with them (thanks Emilie) as they were not responding to my English, or machine translated emails. To be honest I’d never even heard of them but duly looked them up and discovered that this great sounding name for a correction tool was a plugin for Word and various other applications aimed mainly at French speakers, although they do offer a “Module Anglais”. Over the last year or so I’ve been asked by quite a few translators whether SDL Trados Studio supported using Antidote as a spelling and grammar tool.
