I am currently using Wordfast Anywhere (WFA) in limited mode, and have been trying to connect a ModernMT API key in WFA to be able to add ModernMT as an MT engine. I have attempted it in both the older version 6 of WFA and the new version 7 beta. I got errors with both attempts. I have already referenced the WF wiki page about steps to connect WFA ...

I have attempted it in both the older version 6 of WFA and the new version 7 beta. I got errors with both attempts. I have already referenced the WF wiki page about steps to connect WFA to ModernMT (https://www.wordfast.net/wiki/Connecting_Wordfast_Pro_to_Modern_MT), and followed those steps, but to no avail. I cannot find any other instructions or guidance on how to do this. Does anyone have experience with this or happen to know how to connect the engine successfully?
I can post screenshots of the set up screen and of the errors I was getting, if necessary.
Thank you kindly in advance. I am hoping to get the attention of Mr. Translators Tech Corner himself, Philippe Locquet, as I am pretty confident he would know the solution. ▲ Collapse

MT is disabled in limited mode. If you top-up a month's credit, it should work if you have it set up properly.
Limited mode is described here:

Let me know if that helped.

Hi Philippe, thanks for the incredibly quick reply! Much appreciated. I see. I will try topping up a month's credit later today or this week.

To try to add Modern MT, there are 2 steps:
1 Add an MT selecting the option "Custom MT (1,2 or3)"
Then, select the template for Modern MT in the drop-down to the right.
Just adding your key should do the trick, you can test it in that settings area regardless of the account's situation.

Thanks, Philippe! It worked after I removed it as an MT engine then went back and added it again.

That's great Santino!
When you have time, could you put together a complete description of the problem you faced, the steps you took etc. and what solved it in the end? Then please forward it to the dev team, you have all the contacts needed in the help section of the WFA menu. This will be useful in case this happens again, or someone faces the same issue so that devs can identify if there's something wrong and how to fix it. They are usually quite reactive, so don't hesitate.
Take care
