Ours have 1.2 GB after the latest update for Trados 2021.

Please can you qualify this statement?

• did you already have an SDLTM, already upgraded to an SDLTM with all the fragment matching included?
• were you already using 2021 and just upgraded to the last CU or SR1?

I really doubt that the last upgrade in 2021 caused anything like this.  I think it is more likely that you simply have a TM that now includes the fragment matching segments in addition to the normal translation units and you are not familiar with this.

You have updated the TM in Studio to use it with all the features supported there. This includes fragment matching and many more. This results in increasing the TM size. A TM of 1 million segments will have over 1 GB, that is completely normal. The EU TMs have over 9 GB on my PC and my own TM is 4 GB. As the storage space in a PC is really cheap now, I do not really understand your problem here.

Hi Paul,

• did you already have an SDLTM, already upgraded to an SDLTM with all the fragment matching included?

Yes, I do. With fragment alignment the TM becomes 5 GB, and when I remove duplicates, it comes back to 1.2 GB.

• were you already using 2021 and just upgraded to the last CU or SR1?

Yes, I`m using CU8 version.

Thanks!

Hi Jerzy,

You are right, I don`t mind much the size, the real problem is that the batch task that creates project memories is not working anymore with this big TM. 

We didn`t have this problem with Trados 2019, even though the TM was already 1 GB.

Thanks for the help!

That is more than strange, as I use such huge TMs on daily basis with crating a project TM (on a NAS device) with no problem at all. Maybe your machine is not powerful enough for this task?

Here`s the error above, 

My machine has 8 GB Ram, I believe that`s reasonable.

Thanks for the help, I hope you got any tips for this.

Never seen such error before. 8 GB is not really much. However, I used a MS Surface i5 with just 8 GB RAM quite successfully with Studio. This said I seldomly prepared bigger projects with that machine. All other machines I use have 16 GB RAM or more. But RAM alone is not so important. More important is the complete combination of hardware.

Does this error occur with all project templates you use?

That is correct, no matter the project settings or files, I can`t generate project tms anymore, unfortunately.

below my PC spec.

Tks!

Thank you. Do you have a possibility to test with a newer PC? You have a low voltage CPU, 5th generation, which means a quite weak system. This processor has been released in Q1 2015 and this is half a century in terms of IT. So it is quite possible, that due to the more complex new structure of the TM the system cannot cope. Studio uses just one single core from the processor.

Hi Jerzy,

Please find here another PC from our team, that also doesn't work.

I`m sorry, but I don`t know if the PC is the issue, as we have a PM with a slightly weaker PC and yet it works on hers.  

And another thing, even if I add small tms, it's also not working.

Thanks
