Studio 2021, Windows 10, new PC, 8MB RAM etc.

  • For anyone experiencing speed problems or crashes in Trados...

    I keep several functions that I rarely use turned OFF, which for me always prevents Trados Studio being slow or crashing. Even if you have no speed or stability problems normally, they can still happen occasionally with a big/old/complex project. Here's what works for me:

    1) Go to File > Options > Editor > Automation then UNtick 'Enable LookAhead' under 'Translation Memory' and UNtick 'Enable verification of segment' under 'After Confirming Segments Manually'

    Trados Studio options menu with 'Enable LookAhead' and 'Enable verification of segment' options unchecked to improve speed.

    Both these options should help speed things up. You can then verify the file after you've finished working on it all in one go via the Review tab > Verify or by clicking F8.

    Then, in the Project Settings (or via File>Options if you create your own projects from scratch or work via Translate Single File), turn OFF upLift Match Repair:

    Project settings in Trados Studio showing 'upLIFT Match Repair' turned off for the Editor and Batch Tasks to prevent crashes.

    Turning this setting OFF in each project I receive helps stabilise files that for some reason cause Studio to crash. I am sure it helps with speed too. 

    If you want to know what any setting means under File > Options or under Project Settings, click the Help button bottom right of the settings window:

    Trados Studio project settings window with 'Match Repair' option turned off for stability and speed optimization.

    If the above isn't enough, I also keep Fragment Matching turned off, here:

    Fragment Matches Window options in Trados Studio with the display and highlighting options for fragment matches.

    As most of my work is proofreading in Review mode, I don't need fragment matching turned on. I even have the Fragment Matches window closed in the Editor view.

    I always have them all turned off until I need them, and Studio works well for me...

    I hope this helps,

    All the best,

    I experienced frequent crashes with 8GB RAM, which resolved when I added some RAM (now it's 12 or 16).
