To be able to help, we must know the specs of your PC.

Where is what stored? What kind of QA (which add-ons possibly) is used?

Otherwise help is not possible, takes too long...

Are you working with merged files?

Daniel

Hi

Yes, I merged the files (3) in editor.

Best,

Alain.

I experienced merged files to lead to extreme performance problems, sometimes. Closing Studio down and restarting the PC (and Studio) fixed it - for a while.

I find it hard to predict when this will happen, and I always found that the more files are merged the worse the problem. I don't think I ever had real problems with 3 merged files.

How big are the individual files, and are they virtually merged or merged at project creation?

Hi Dan,

I can't say for real what is happening with my Studio 2017.

I spend more time on restarting my computer than on the translation itself.

The stress is just unbearable, especially with very tight deadlines.

Would just have to try other translation software.

Best,

Alain.

Hi Alain Chuba

Firstly, are your versions of Studio 2017 and of MultiTerm 2017 both updated to the latest version (open MultiTerm and click Help>Check for Updates)?

Then, take a look at this thread and try following the suggestions there:

Confirming a segment is slow

The issue described is not the same as yours but the suggestions may be a solution for you.

If none of those suggestions work, you should try repairing your version of Studio, as described here:

Windows Repair of Studio/MultiTerm

If none of those work, try reinstalling Studio. If that doesn't help, you have the right to contact Installation Help free of charge, here:

installation and licensing help

Select 'Installation' from the 'Case type' dropdown menu.

Someone will help in the next day or two if you give your correct email address.

All the best,

Ali

And when do you think it will be possible to answer my question about your PC specs? This is most probably the bottle neck there. Of course these could also be the files, as you also do not tell us what kind of files these are. You also fail to say how big they are.

Honestly, I am getting tired of such help seekers like you, where ALL the information needs to be dragged out of your nose. It is in your very personal interest to post as much information as possible to make people here able to help. Instead of this you're just tired with the software. I wish you good luck with other software.

Hi Ali,

thanks for the great help, I remember you did same a few years ago---highly appreciated.

I tried all the steps but to no avail.

I will try the installation help option.

Best,

Alain.
