I have been experiencing long search times for TM translation results per segment. I am unsure about the reasons and whether this can be easily improved.

Did you try the suggestions in the knowledgebase?

Why does Studio disregard the pre-translation results in searching for translation results? is this not redundant use of the available resources?

It might be easier to answer this question if you explained what you set, and where you set it?  Screenshots are also helpful as we might get a better idea of where your problems originate from.

Also... you should always tell us what version of Studio you are using.  The full version number and not just 2017 or 2019.

Hi Paul

The slowness issue occurs specifically in the TM search per segment operation within the editor during translation, I might be waiting up to 5 minutes of search in some cases per segment. I do not feel that other operations demonstrate similar slowness, within or without the editor.

I'm using TS 2019 freelance SR2 15.2.6.2831. I tried the knowledge base and found one of your responses mentioning vaguely the size of the TM as a possible cause. I have two main TMs (698 pages and 1545 pages) and two 'inverted' (AnyTM) TMs (of about the same sizes), respectively, per project. I do not use any anti-virus software.

I set up the project normally for these four TMs. Initially my pre-translate setting for this project was 100%, as usual, but, as mentioned, I reran it on 70% in the hope that the TM search results per segment would be expedited by that but that, as mentioned, did not happen. I still had to wait those 5 minutes in some segments.

I cannot attach a screenshot of how long it takes to get those TM search results but I am attaching a screenshot of the pre-translate function for your convenience although I have no problem at all with it; it executed quite quickly.

Please let me know if you need more information to help me.

Thanks!

ok - so these could be:

6980 TUs and 15450 TUs

Or they could be:

698000 TUs and 1545000 TUs

... or somewhere in between.  The latter could contribute to slow performance, but primarily this depends on where you are storing it.  So where are you storing it?  Locally on your computer, onedrive/dropbox/googledrive etc., a NAS storage device or some other external drive?

Sorry about that...the new one is 69713 TUs and the older is 154489 TUs, the inverted ones are about the same sizes, respectively, as they are the AnyTm version of these.

I store them all on my hard drive locally.

In this case you don't have large TMs and you're working locally so they should be fast.  I think you should try switching off your AV or other security software for a short while and test.  See if this helps.  Clearly something is interfering with the operation of Studio so you'll need to try and narrow down what that is and eventually whitelist Studio.

Thing is, I am not using any AV, or any other security software, just the native settings of Win 10. Also, it is strange that this is the only affected feature, including across all my software, and pre-translate is running just fine...What should I disable?
