Owner of a Trados 2021 Professional. Found out that MT Enhanced Plugin isn't supported anymore, so I used "Cloud based resources" and "Language Weaver provider".

Thanks.

Free of charge? Sep 22, 2022

Are you talking about the free MT service offered by Studio? I still have an older version of (2019) and I once worked with that free service out of curiosity. The machine translation is indeed very poor, but that seems normal to me: you have to pay for good output and most certainly if you want (good) MT integrated in your CAT tool.

If there's an option to pay for Google MT via Trados Studio, please, someone, let me know the steps how to do it. Thanks.

Why do you think so? It seems to be still available from appstore, even for 2022: https://appstore.rws.com/language/app/mt-enhanced-plugin-for-trados-studio/604/

Ah, ok, I think I understand why... The plugin is not available directly from the RWS Appstore site.
You have to set up the Private Appstore feature to install the plugin from Studio.
