Set up Language Weaver from the webUI

To set up Language Weaver from the webUI, first enable access to your Language Weaver account for the relevant Trados GroupShare users. These users can then pre-translate new projects based on project templates that specify this MT provider.

About this task

Enable user access to Language Weaver

Procedure

  1. Go to the Users tab.
  2. Select a user to which you want to give access to your Language Weaver account.
  3. On the Translation Providers page, enter the account credentials.
  4. Click on the+ button to save the credentials into the database, then click on Finish.

Example

Create new projects based on templates

To create new projects that specify Language Weaver as MT provider:

  1. In Trados Studio, create a template that specifies Language Weaver as machine translation provider.
  2. Open Trados GroupShare to create a new template based on the Trados Studio one.
  3. Click Resources tab > Project Templates > New Project Template.
  4. Specify a name, description and a location for the template, then browse to the .sdltpl template file generated from Trados Studio.
  5. On the Language Pairs page, check the source and target languages specified for the project template. Add additional project target languages if required. Make sure not to remove the current language pairs as this will also remove the language providers specified in the template.
  6. On the Translation Providers page, check that Trados GroupShare identifies Language Weaver as a translation provider and select any additional local translation memories required for the template.
  7. Add any required termbases, then click Finish to close the New Project Template wizard.
  8. Create a new project based on the new project template. As a user with access to the Language Weaver account, all your new projects that use this template will be pre-translated with Language Weaver. If you also have TMs enabled as translation providers, they will take priority over machine translation. This is to avoid using up your MT word allowance.
