For now thank you for confirming it work in 2017. That gives you assurances its OK and that you can keep work progressing.

So far as 2021 is concerned, let me send you a PM with a link to my work OneDrive. 
Please upload so I can take a closer look at this for you.

I hope this gives you some comfort

Wendy Cummings, I have done what I can to repair and to save as much as your TM as possible.

You had over 674 000 TU's and I managed to give you an improved TM of 661000+

I dont know why the TM repair could not do more for you - I will need to look into this. But sometimes the traditional methods are still applicable.

Solution:

What I did was to

1. Export the TM into TMX.
2. Create a new TM
3. Import TMX in
4.  Run the built in upgrade, which the later versions of Studio advise (which is why you may have seen a triangle alongside your TM name, https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0034935)

So why did your TM "corrupt"??

I believe it was down to a combination of the following:

1. TM Size:

Well your TM was large and while we dont restrict the number of TU's you have, it is recommended for file based TM's you dont exceed 100000: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0032215

Perhaps if you want to continue having such large TM's it worth looking into Trados Live Essential which is a cloud solutions designed to manage/process such large databases optimally.

2. General Maintenance:

It seemed to suggest little was done to address any anomalies or stability of the TM since 2016 and/or since 1000+ additional TU's were added.
Once again the warning triangle was an indication it needed attention.

This article here is a good one to remember as it needs to be done periodically when working with file based TM's : https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0032215

Anyway, thank you for allowing me to address your TM and I trust this information helps
