A post for translators working with WorldServer WSXZ packages

As it is already known, starting from version 2021, Trados Studio has forgotten how to work with WSXZ packages out of the box. To work with them, you need to install a special plug-in beforehand: WorldServer Compatibility Pack for SDL Trados Studio. To download the plug-in, an RWS account is required.

You sell not only the translation, but also your expertise
