Hi Davide Caroselli,

You can find a code sample on how to add a Custom Field in a TU in our Github repository.

Kind regards,

Andrea Ghisa

Hi! Thanks a lot for the resource!

From the code it seems that the use-case for those two methods is limited to TranslationMemory. In other words, if I don't have access to an instance of "FileBasedTranslationMemory", I won't be able to properly store my custom value.

So, as far as you know, there is no way to properly use SetValue() in a normal "Search" for suggestions, from a MachineTranslation plugin, am I right?

Thanks again for your help!

Davide Caroselli can you please try following code:

var filedDefinition = new FieldDefinition();
var value = filedDefinition.CreateValue();
value.Add("your value");
tu.FieldValues.Add(value);

Davide Caroselli can you please try following code:

var filedDefinition = new FieldDefinition();
var value = filedDefinition.CreateValue();
value.Add("your value");
tu.FieldValues.Add(value);

No luck:

public SearchResults SearchTranslationUnit(SearchSettings settings, TranslationUnit translationUnit)
{
logger.Info("On-focus value is: " + translationUnit.FieldValues.Lookup("my-custom-value"));

// Creating custom field value
var fieldDefinition = new FieldDefinition("my-custom-value", FieldValueType.SingleString);
var fieldValue = fieldDefinition.CreateValue();
fieldValue.Add("Hello world");
translationUnit.FieldValues.Add(fieldValue);

// Creating "echo" result
translationUnit.TargetSegment = translationUnit.SourceSegment;
translationUnit.Origin = TranslationUnitOrigin.MachineTranslation;
translationUnit.ConfirmationLevel = Sdl.Core.Globalization.ConfirmationLevel.Draft;

// Creating result object
SearchResults results = new SearchResults();
results.SourceSegment = translationUnit.SourceSegment;
results.Add(new SearchResult(translationUnit)
{
TranslationProposal = translationUnit,
ScoringResult = new ScoringResult()
{
BaseScore = 0
}
});

return results;
}
