How do I connect to my WorldServer server TM from my WorldServer project in Trados Studio?
Resolution
1)    Open your WorldServer package in Trados Studio. Once the package has been imported in Studio, you will see it in your Projects page 

2)    Select the project and either right-click on the project name and select Projects Settings or go to Project/Project Settings.

3)    The Project Settings page will open up and will automatically show you the TM settings for your project. Usually a WorldServer package contains an export of the WorldServer TM. Only the content that is relevant to the project has been exported. This TM is shown on the Project Settings page under Language Pairs/All Language Pairs/Translation Memory and Automated Translation.

4)    To add the WorldServer TM connection, click on Use and select WorldServer Translation Memory....

5)    In the Select WorldServer Translation Memory window, click on the "Servers..." button

6)    Click on the "Add..." button. The Add WorldServer window will appear.

7) Next to the Server Address: field, enter the WorldServer LEGACY URL, but replace login with services.

If the WorldServer environment you are trying to connect to is version 11.x., you need to use 'ws-legacy' instead of 'ws'. Exception: in some environments, the Legacy URL is set to 'ws' and the new UI URL is set to 'ws-new'. Just check which URL leads you to the Legacy/Classic UI, but per default, this is an example of how the URL looks like:

https://customerworldserverurl.com/ws-legacy/services

for instance


wssupport.sdlproducts.com/ws-legacy/services

8) In the Login and Password fields enter your WorldServer user credentials

9) Now a list of WorldServer (Server) Translation Memories to which you have access also from the UI will display, as in this example:

10) Select the TM(s) that you want to add to your Project Settings. You will be able to select only one at once, but you can repeat the steps above to add another one if needed. Here is an example where two WorldServer (Server) TMs have been added to a WorldServer Studio project:

Now the relevant TM entries from the TM will be displayed in the TM window in the Editor when clicking on a target segment (if available). Note that working with WorldServer (Server) TMs is usually slower than working with local TMs.
