Hello
I am becoming increasingly irritated with SDl and its products.
First, they release snth they call Passolo 2018 and it is not even a functioning version.
I try to connect to a Multiterm termbase and to some TMs to keep consistency, but it shows this error box:
untitled

So then I tried to be clever and instead use Import and the formats are xfg and ctr.
Opened MT to create such a file, but nope, can't do that.
Went to SDL Knowledgebase and searched for "xfg" and lo and behold, no search hits at all.
Why call xfg and ctr for "SDL Import files" when they aren't even referenced in support material?

When I try to connect the TM in Passolo, it shows error messages when I even look and the Setup button

ERROR - Unhandled Exception in Add-In. Component='DnTradosStudio.AddInComponent' Method='Initialize' Message='Could not load file or assembly 'Sdl.LanguagePlatform.Core, Version=1.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c28cdb26c445c888' or one of its dependencies. Ogiltig pekare. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))' StackTrace=' at DnTradosStudio.TMInternals.TradosStudioLanguagePairs..ctor(ITranslationsCallback transCallback)

at PAIFN_Initialize(PAISTRUCT_INIT* init, IPAIApplicationTools* apptools, IPAIAddIn* addin)'

Anyone have any idea how to solve these problems?

3- Click Open > File.

5- Once the file is open, paste the Studio installation folder hereabove between the tags and (without space).
6- Close the file and save the changes

Then Open Passolo again, and check that the connection with Studio is OK (Tools > Add-Ins, then click the Translation Tab and click Load). A green check should replace the red cross.

Multiterm:
You should check that you have the .pai file corresponding to your MT (ie. PAITransMultiTerm.pai) in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Passolo\SDL Passolo Translator 2018\System.
I also copied the below .pai file from it's location in the Trados folder under System to System. Now I have two MultiTerm connections of which one works. ▲ Collapse

Can Passolo projects be done in Studio? Apr 8, 2019

I got a Passolo request the other day and declined the job because I am not working in Passolo. But does the above mean that it is possible to do the translation of Passolo projects in Studio? Because then I might after all say yes to Passolo jobs.

No, Roy. You cannot translate Passolo projects in Studio (unless there is a crazy workaround).

What Thomas Loob is referring to is the fact that Passolo SHOULD be able to connect to MultiTerm termbases and Studio TMs, so you can use those for terminology/concordance while working in Passolo. But like Thomas, I have also not been able to connect to termbases and TMs in Passolo 2018. It is mighty frustrating!

Thomas, I don't even know if I understood your second message at all -- I think I may just have to try it when I have the time and see if I can get Passolo to work with termbases/TMs again.

Copy the Studio path (might be C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio5 for Studio 2017).
Open Notepad as an admin to be able to edit the Passolo settings xml file.

Then open the Passolo 2018 settings file "C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Passolo\SDL Passolo Translator 2018\System\DnTradosStudio" in Notepad and copy the path to Studio in the xml file between the InstallLocation tags, it looks like the picture I attached.

Then save the xml file. (That's why Notepad must be opened in admin mode.)

Good luck!

Thanks! Will try it later Apr 8, 2019

Thanks Thomas, I'll definitely give it a go later this week. It will be such a relief if I can get it to work again!

No Passolo for me then. Apr 8, 2019

Thanks. That's what I also thought. I am really too old to start learning new CAT tools, and as I also have sufficient work as it is, I will continue to decline passolo tasks.

You're never too old to learn. In fact it is good to learn new things when you are older, keeps the brain from sinking into dementia
The fix is quite simple, too.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, but for each new CAT tool that I have to learn, my production goes way down, which is just not worth it. Much better to give priority to Studio, memoQ and Dejavu.

If I am to learn new things, I prefer it to be something which is not related to work so that my production doesn't suffer.

A new error! Apr 15, 2019

And as I fixed the error above and did a project in Passolo 2018, the next problem comes along.

Now the program has problems with Unicode. I can't even use it, it just shuts down.
Total junk.

I'm a Passolo user for a long time and I don't understand what means"has problems with Unicode". Could you explain?

Passolo 2018, Unicode stopped working Apr 15, 2019

That's the error message. Then passolo 2018 closes down. I see from a bux fix for 2018 that Unicode has been an issue.
