Most likely the sdlproj file has become corrupt.  Try this:

1. copy the project files, the target language folder and the translated sdlxliff files inside specifically, somewhere safe
2. create a new project in the same way you did for the original
3. copy the sdlxliff files you saved somewhere safe over the ones that are created in the new project folder
4. all being well you will now have a new project containing all the work exactly as you left it

Thanks again! I haven't created a new project.

I used the option (to be faster) "Drag files for translation..." and applied my TMs and Termbase (luckily I have the main TM and the secondary one). 

My main problem is this Project contains many files previously translated since I started to cooperate with this client, and I don't want to loose all this work. I will try your solution later!

My power provider is the one corrupt, not Trados! This power failure caused all this mess today...

Hello Sandra,

Why don't you just protect your computer with an UPS (uninterruptible power supply). I only hope it is not too expensive a piece of equipment in your country (Brazil?). Anyway, if your power provider is so bad, it is a worthwhile investment.

Best regards.

Hi Gérard,

No, I am not Brazilian. I am Portuguese. Many thanks for your tip! I will consider for sure!

Kind regards,

Sandra

I am working on one of the files and sometimes the software crashes, and it is closed suddenly. I have made a repair to Trados, created a new TM, and I am feeling frustrated. I just hope to deliver the job to the client on time and in good conditions.

HI Sandra Flor Ferreira dos Santos 

It is so very frustrating when I've done a whole lot of work, maybe got so engrossed that I haven't saved then the software crashes!

So, I have found that turning off any 'extra' functionality that I don't use prevents this from happening.

For example, when I'm don't need Fragment Matching/Match Repair, I turn it off...

So, here in Project settings I turn this off:

Or... if you don't work with projects, i.e. 'Translate Single File', turn off the same settings under File>Options

(Individual project settings always overrule the same settings made under File>Options)

I also close the Fragment Matches window in Editor. Most of my work as a proofreader is done in Review mode so I don't need Fragment matches...

However, if you don't want to turn off Match Repair or Fragment matching, try turning off LookAhead via File>Options, here:

What I'm saying basically is... turning off anything you don't need/use makes the software more streamlined, efficient and stable.

If the above doesn't help, it could be that the instability is caused by Studio not being installed in your current environment to the optimum, in which case, take a look at the options here:

Repairing your installation

I hope this helps, though it isn't the solution to your whole problem, unfortunately.

All the best

Hi Alison,

Many thanks for your help

I also try these solutions too when I get stuck. SDL team is already helping me

Many thanks to them and to you! 

Have a pleasant day everyone!

Kind regards,

Sandra
