I have made custom addon/gramplet which I can’t find in the actual program.
I have a directory in the plugins directory with a .gpr.py and .py file. The .gpr.py looks like this:
> register(
>
> ```
> GRAMPLET,
>
> gramplet = SourceFromString,
>
> gramps_target_version = "6.0",
>
> status = STABLE,
>
> name = "Source Creator from String",
>
> description = "Create Sources and Citations from ArkivDigital reference",
>
> version = "1.0.0",
>
> fname = "SourceFromString.py"
>
> ```
>
> )
Where can I expect to see it? I don’t see it in the [addon manager](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#addon)

Try to add a gramplet in the dashboard, you should be able to see your gramplet

Perhaps you would be willing to share your Grampet’s source too? Maybe share it as a new repository in your GitHub profile?
We need a test case of a gramplet with translatable non-english source strings. (For testing a Weblate cross-referencing experiment.) This ArkivDigital related tool (wrapped in a gramplet) seems like it would be ideal.
The description sounds similar to an Isotammi tool ([Generate source citations from notes](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Isotammi_addons#Generate_source_citations_from_notes)). Rather than ArkivDigital, the tool by @kku generates SSHY source citations from Suomen Sukuhistorisallinen yhdistis ry (SSHY, “Suomen” - Finland’s, “Sukuhistoriallinen” - Family Historical, “yhdistys” - Association, “ry” - Registered Association)
