Configuring PlugInAssemblies

The <PlugInAssemblies> element in the TranslationManager.xml file allows you to load custom DLLs, created using the Translation Manager .NET API, into the Translation Manager.

About this task

The <PlugInAssemblies> element contains one or more <Assembly> elements, each one indicating where to load a plugin assembly.

Attributes
In the <Assembly> element you must specify a fullPath or fullAssemblyName attribute (if both elements are specified, the fullAssemblyName takes precedence):
AttributeDescription
