About Trados capacity

Dear SDL trados team,
Thank you for reading my email. I saw a pop-up window says "The Trados capacity already used 95%, please expand the capacity", could you please inform me what I need do to handle this situation? Thank you very much for your precious help.

    Trados Studio stores all files there, where the user wants them to be. Only few settings files are stored in defined paths, but no working files.

    Your TMs, TBs and working files can be stored on any local (or network attached) HDD. In case you translate files using the single file approach, all files (not TM/TB) are stored in the same location as the source file. The path for TM/TB is set when creating this resources. In case of project approach you are prompted to select the proper path when creating the project.

    Dealing with files and folders is a crucial knowledge necessary (with no excuse) to properly use software like Trados Studio (but not limited too, as many other software solutions require the user to manage files and folders). So please learn how to manage files and folders and create a decent folder structure for your needs. Without this you'll have chaos on your computer. And chaos means a lot of trouble.

  • Hi Ying,

    The default path for the Trados files is on the C partition of a computer in Documents, unless - like Jerzy said, you decide otherwise and pick a different path and folders which fall under your responsibility to keep track of and organize.

    You can check the path of a project if you select that project in Projects view and click on Project Settings. Or just widen the Location tab for the projects until you see the full path of one.

    I don't know how your computer is set up, but you can check the available space you have on a partition by opening Windows Explorer and selecting This PC. 

    Best regards,

    Anca
