I am having an issue with confirming segments in Studio 2019 on my new laptop. It takes at least 25 seconds to confirm longer segments, shorter works fine. I never had this problem with my old laptop.

Dear Liisa,
It may be some complicated issue related to disk and DB performance, but for a start you may want to check your QA settings, untick all checks and see if it changes anything. If it does, you can translate with all checks unticked and run them at the end instead of each time you confirm a segment.
I hope your issue will have a simple fix!
Hi Lisa,
It will speed up your confirming of segments if you untick the boxes I've highlighted in yellow below via File>Options>Editor>Automation:
Unticking 'Translation Memory > Enable LookAhead' will turn off the function that looks at the next 3 segments ready for searching the TM. This feature is only useful if you have a really fast computer.
Unticking 'After Confirming Segments Manually > Enable verification of segment' prevents the automatic verification of each segment as you confirm it. You can perform a global verification at the end of your translation. Performing a verification (as ticked in your Project Settings under 'Verification') slows you down in 2 ways: It slows the confirmation process down because the software is analysing and it slows you down if you stop to look at why something has been flagged up.
I hope this helps...
All the best,
Ali
Dear Anne-Sophie,
Thanks a lot for your answer! I will try this and am desperately hoping for a simple fix!
My laptop is brand new (Microsoft Surface), so it should perform well. As for DB performance, I will have to check that. I will also try to re-install Studio, but on the other hand I don't know what could have gone wrong during installation. I do get an error message saying that the IATE termbase has been unabled (I work via a client server, Groupshare). I find this issue so strange, it should just work, shouldn't it? ;) As I said, I have never experienced this problem before and have never had to change any settings.The segments gets confirmed fast if I just type in a word, but when I fill the segment with the whole translation the process slows down.
Hi Ali,
Great, million thanks for this useful information! I will try these tips and keep my fingers crossed ;)
All the best,
Liisa
Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I've only just seen your reply. I've been very, very busy! I hope I was able to to lead you to a solution.
All the best,
Ali
Hi Ali,
No worries at all, I am extremely busy myself! So I have had to leave this issue aside and am working with my PC, where everything runs smoothly (as smoothly as possible that is;).
Thank you for takting your time to answer!
All the best and hope you get some rest now
Hi Liisa,
Rest for me is a rare commodity at the moment. Family problems and a crazy workload have meant I get little sleep.
I hope the tips work for you. If they don't, try turning off Match Repair Usage under Project Settings > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Match Repair:
Although it isn't a bug or a fault, I find it stabilises and speeds things up on my oldest PC...
All the best,
Ali
