WorldServer Translation Plug-in for Studio

Starting with SDL Trados Studio 2014, the translation memory (TM) attached to a WorldServer package is centrally shared between WorldServer and Studio. When opening a WorldServer package, Studio users with access to the WorldServer system also have real-time access to the server-based TM attached to the package. This means that they can always see the most up-to-date version of the TM and update it in real time, while confirming the translations in Studio.

The translation plug-in has the following limitations:
  • The default WorldServer scoping mode is always used for scoring purposes.
  • Not all penalties or penalty values are currently applied or displayed correctly, because WorldServer penalties need to be mapped to Studio penalties; at the moment, there is no 1:1 correspondence between them.
  • For concordance searches, WorldServer scoring rules are applied, which differ from the rules used by Studio. (WorldServer's Studio-aligned TM mode only applies to standard leverage scoring, not to concordance scoring.)
