The Resources File

The project template includes a PluginResources.resx resources file, which stores strings and plug-in UI elements (e.g. the plug-in name, the message texts for any problems that the plug-in reports) that are displayed in the user interface of SDL Trados Studio 2017.

By default, this resources file only includes the Plugin_Name string. In our implementation we need a number of other strings, e.g. to set the plug-in description and the error message(s) that the plug-in should display after verification. The resources table should therefore look as shown below:

The Sdl.Sdk.FileTypeSupport.Samples.SimpleText sample project folder also contains an icon (icon.ico) file, which you can add to the resource file of your project. This is the icon that will be displayed next to the plug-in name in the Options dialog box.
