Overview

Trados PowerTools aims to make the life of Trados Cloud administrators and power users easier by providing productivity and automation features that are not available in the standard Trados Cloud product.

The first version of Trados PowerTools is focused on monitoring and resolving failed tasks in translation projects. Future versions will add more features based on user feedback.

Failed Task Monitoring

Get full visibility into tasks failing in projects across your entire Trados Cloud account, without having to go to the project details of every project.

Resolve errors by retrying tasks, or skip task that are optional and will continue failing.

Search and filter across all task errors.

Failed Task Analytics

Get insights into the health of your translation projects with statistics on failed tasks.

Automated Rules

Define rules to automatically retry or skip tasks when they fail, or cancel files. Define which tasks a rule applies to by specifying conditions.

Copy Project

Quickly create a new project by copying an existing project, using all the same settings. The new project is created immediately. Just add files, tweak name or other aspects and start the project.

XSLT Transformation Task

Transform source or target language XML files as part of the workflow, using a XSLT stylesheet. Great if you need to do small tweaks or larger modifications as part of the workflow, either on source language files before file format conversion or on target language files after target file generation.

And More

We will keep adding new features to Trados PowerTools based on user feedback. The vision for Trados PowerTools is to offer everything you need as a Trados power user, so let us know what you think about the current features and about new features that would really make your life easier. Any feedback is welcome at support@codingbreeze.com.

Currently under consideration for our roadmap:

• Option to cancel files as part of automated rules and manually
• Task error analytics dashboard
• Expand availability to non-administrator roles
• Project-specific task errors tab
• Error resolution suggestions and fixing errors automatically
• More action types based on task failure or completion
