Machine translation segment origin?

Question

Hi, 
 We have developed a machine translation plugin for Studio 2019 and 2020. 
 The user can select our MT plugin during project creation, which translates the project. When a user opens the pre-translated project and selects a segment in the editor, it sends it to the MT server. In addition to the selected segments, it sends next 2 segments for the translation. 
 
 Is there any way to access cache, so that rather than sending the segments for the translation again, use the cache instead? 
 Is it possible to send only selected segment for the translation? 
 The https://community.sdl.com/developers-more/developers/language-developers/f/forum/3549/caching-of-machine-translation-segments/13122#13122 has some suggestions on getting the "Origin" of the translation unit. However, the "Origin&rdquo; is always "Unknown". Is there a way to know if the Translation origin is Automated Translation

When I tried getting, translationUnit.DocumentSegmentPair.Properties.ConfirmationLevel.ToString(); I am not able to find Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Core.dll? Is the dll not supported anymore?

Thanks

Hi Sonal Rana , 
 Responses for question number: 
 1. "Cache" functionality should be implemented in the Translation provider. We implemented a cache feature in a Terminology provider (see example here ). 
 2. Please make sure the "Look ahead" option is disabled from Studio. 
 3. the problem is that in your tranlation provider the translation unit is "Unknown"? If that's the case please try to set the Translation Origin in your Translation Provider when you are creating the search results( see example here , line 208). 
 4. We didn't remove the support for that API. Please check in the csproj to see if the path to the dll is correct.
