SDL Trados Studio 64-bit Release

Trados probably is one of the slowest program running on my computer.

It's ok for most translation/review and basic project management tasks.

But a lot of tasks are very slow when working with big files / lots of files, whereas CPU / RAM usage is at the lowest.

The program startup itself is very slow, slower than much heavier programs I am running. And navigating between the different sections of the program is slow as well (when you hit the Report section by mistake for instance).

I don't know if it would solve the problem but I don't understand why such a "big" program still is running in 32 bits in 2017. Being able to choose between a 32-bit and a 64-bit install would be nice.

That being said, there are some really nice additions in Studio 2017.

  • I have worked with Trados Studio and MultiTerm Desktop versions 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. The best improvement in Trados Studio and MultiTerm Desktop would be the Trados Studio 64 bit and MultiTerm Desktop 64 bit. The Trados Studio 32 bit and MultiTerm Desktop 32 bit are instable on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. It is very cumbersome to pay for a very expensive software (including the SDL Translation Productivity Support and Maintenance Agreement), the improvements of which do not include the 64 bit version software.

    Me neither! Absolutely puzzling! THEY should make up for this drawback soonest. What do you have to do around here to make THEM do that?

    Cheers :)
