Changes introduced in Trados GroupShare 2020 SR1 CU7
Mid-Project updates
Update current project with new source and reference files without disrupting current work.
Trados GroupShare now allows you to upload new translatable and reference files to existing projects. This is useful for situations when you receive updated project files from your customer, or additional files that were missed from the initial drop.
Users with the new Update Project Files permission, can import new files using the new Update Project option under Projects view > All projects tab.
Behind the scenes, Trados GroupShare automatically replaces the outdated versions in the project and applies all currently performed work to the new project files.
For more information, see topic in the online Help.
New operations for the Analyze Files report
To support the enhancements introduced for Mid-Project updates, the Reports view now includes new options for generating the Analyze files report. In addition to the Full report which includes all statistics for the current project, you can now also generate a report for Inital project creation, and individual separate report for each Add project file operation or Update project file operation.
For more information, see Working with reports.
Updated documentation
We have updated the documentation with detailed Recommendations for configuring Server security. In addition, the installation Guide now includes instructions for Automatic assignment of user roles in SSO login flows.
Component upgrade
We have updated our Editor Service Router and the BCM Service to .NET6, and their configuration file Sdl.EditorServiceRouter.Host.exe.config and Sdl.BcmService.Host.exe.config have been replaced by appsettings.json.
RabbitMq password encrypted in CC services configs
Starting with this release, the following services have the RabbitMq password encrypted with the same mechanism used in the rest of the GroupShare services: BCM Service, Editor Service Router, Fine Grained Alignment Service, TM Service, Translation Model Service, Verification Service.
The password is configured under the "encryptedPassword" setting in each service configuration file. Optionally, Configurator.exe tool can be used to encrypt/decrypt the passwords.
Statistics Service and Editor Service still have the password in Base64 encoding.
Added support for YAML and Email file types
With this release we are extending Trados Groupeshare wide-range of compatible file types. You can now also translate YAML (.yml, .yaml) files and the following types of email files:
*.MSG
*.EML
*.EMLX
*.OFT
XML v.2 file type
Version 2 of the XML file type is now available.
Added support for Billingual Adobe FrameMaker
Billingual Adobe FrameMaker file type (.mif) is now supported.
Added support for .NET Libraries file types
.NET Libraries file types .dll and .exe are now supported.
Introduced Markdown file types
The Markdown file types (.md .markdown) are now supported.
Known issues
Online deactivation fails for specific license(s) with "null" error
Online Deactivation may fail for specific licenses with the message "null".
If this occurs, perform an offline deactivation for this license and/or contact licensing support. (LTGS-10477)
GroupShare does not have logic for counting Asian characters
GroupShare does not have logic for counting Chinese/Japanese characters. Projects that have Asian source languages will have 0 words in the Analyze Files Report. We added a workaround in the code in order for mid-project update operations not to fail for such projects, as the missing Words property was causing problems for Add/Update Project Files. The words count will still be 0 in the Analyze Files Report after mid-project update operations for projects that had 0 words count from project creation, but the background tasks should be successful. (LTGS-10581)
'Numbers' verification settings works in Online Editor
'Numbers' verification settings are now respected when verifying a document in Online Editor. However, customized language processing rules are not taken into account (date, time and measurement format) and some date and measurement formats are not recognized correctly. (LTGS-6398)
Translate and Analyze batch task fails when creating server-based TMs in Trados Studio
Translate and Analyze batch task ("Prepare with Groupshare") is not working when creating a server-based TM with Trados Studio White Rabbit 2022 and the project is not published. The issue is fixed in Trados Studio 2022 CU01. (LTGS-10497)
Perfect Match is not applied when adding .zip files via mid-project update
Perfect Match(PM) is not applied when adding a new ZIP archive with PM folder structure. The new files will be added but the PM files from folder structure will not be applied. (LTGS-10606)
Fixed issues
Segment verification in Online Editor fails with Spanish and German operating systems
If you are using Online Editor with Windows in Spanish or German, segment verification is not yet working correctly. To correct the issue, follow these steps:
Workaround A:
- Install English-US display language in Windows.
- Set service user UI language, e.g. via PS command Set-WinUILanguageOverride en-US (executed as service user).
- Log out and in to Windows as service user and restart services.
Workaround B:
- Stop Verification service (V-S).
- Go to V-S installation folder.
- Remove the folder(s) corresponding to the OS' (service user) local (e.g., delete de and de-DE on German machine, it may be possible to do this more targeted).
- Start V-S. (LTGS-10513)

- Fixed security issue related to cross-site WebSocket hijacking, impacting Trados GroupShare Notification Service.
Cross-site WebSocket hijacking involves a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability on a WebSocket handshake. An attacker can create a malicious web page on their own domain which establishes a cross-site WebSocket connection to the vulnerable application.
To defend against the vulnerability a new setting was added to Notification Service configuration file, under ..\Notification Service\appsettings.json. The setting under Host.AllowedOrigins is set by default to the external server address. It supports a list of comma separated values. Requests to Notification Service are validated and if the origin is not in the list of AllowedOrigin the response will be HTTP 403. (LTGS-9494)
- Changes in certificate validation. When connecting to various translation providers Trados GroupShare will no longer accept invalid certificates that can't be validated against a CA. This means that you won't be able to connect to translation providers that use expired or invalid certificates. (LTGS-10030)
- When adding or updating files for a project that has a missing analysis report (e.g. created from Studio), reports will be generated for the add/update operation but the "Full report" will not be available. (LTGS-10577)
- Fixed an issue regarding the Concordance Search (F3) functionality where not the most recent Translation Units were disaplayed. (CRQ-29048)
- Fixed an issue where downloading/open files in Trados Studio and Trados GroupShare WebUI under list view would fail with the error message "The 'UserId' property on 'LanguageFileVersionComplex' could not be set to a 'null' value. You must set this property to a non-null value of type 'Guid'." This occurred after deleting an user. (CRQ-27459)
- Fixed an issue where GroupShare files in the TEMP folder never got removed. The work folder that each batch task creates in TEMP is now cleaned up and creation of files and folders was made more robust. (CRQ-19617)
- Trados GroupShare now supports certificates using SHA-256. (CRQ-19412)
- Fixed an issue where email notifications were not sent to the external users when moving from Translation phase to Review phase. (CRQ-28130)
- Notification Service no longer allows HTTP origins for connections if HTTPS has been set up. (CRQ-29128)

- Fixed an issue where logging in back to MTO took longer comparing to GS 2015 CU4. (CRQ-15079)
- Fixed an issue where Trados GroupShare created file-based project TMs and Trados Studio then displayed the error: "The translation memory 'proj tm.sdltm' could not be found. Click OK to specify its location, or Cancel to disable this translation memory." Project file-based TMs are no longer created on the GS server in FileStore. (CRQ-26186)
- Fixed an issue where populating Project Translation Memories would fail in Trados GroupShare if Custom Segmentation Rules were applied to TM instead of via Language Processing Rules Templates with the errors: "BatchProcessing.Implementation | Error | Message: One or more errors occurred.; in Populate Project Translation Memories; Level:Error | LRService.log:|Error|THREAD_ID:93|TR_ID:8e19be87-a255-408b-99cd-2ca473e5e88e|EX:Segmentation rules type not supported| System.NotSupportedException: Segmentation rules type not supported." The TMs can now be created. (CRQ-26391)
