Trados 2021 is very slow

Hi,

I am using Trados Studio Freelance Plus 2021 SR2. When I move from one segment to the next, the system lags. It also takes a long time for segment matches to appear when I move to the next segment. Why is that?

  • Hi  and 

    I have a group of things that I do if Studio is slow or crashes e.g. with a big/old/slow file:

    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 window showing Editor settings with 'Enable LookAhead' and 'Enable verification of segment' options unchecked to improve performance.

    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 or work via Translate Single File), turn OFF upLift Match Repair:

    Trados Studio Project Settings window with 'Match Repair' option turned off under the Translation Memory and AutoSuggest settings.

    Turning this setting off seems to help with 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 displaying Match Repair Usage information with Editor and Batch Tasks options set to Off.

    Keeping these settings turned on if you need them works just fine if you have a hi-spec fast computer and an excellent broadband connection. However, in less than perfect scenarios, it can help to turn one or all of them off. I always have them all turned off unless I need them, and Studio works well for me...

    I hope this helps,

    All the best,

  • Hello, 

    I was looking for similar topic on the forum, because my Trados Studio 2022 has gotten veeeery slow after the last update. 

    I have tried all of the suggestions above without any change in the slowness. 

    Has anyone found the couse of that slowness? Can anything else be done about it?

    Anyone from the technical department?

    Hi there

    Speed problems can be due to many different factors.

    To get help from the technical department, start a new thread via 'New' at the top of this page in community.rws.com... It looks like this:

    Screenshot showing the 'New' button in the community.rws.com interface to start a new thread for technical support.

    Click on 'New' and type a short sentence to summarise what you want to ask.

    Click 'Enter' and write a longer description of your problem, giving your Trados version and when and how Trados is behaving slowly for you.

    The technical department can only open one case per thread so if you start a new thread, they will be able to set up a case for you and even look at your computer remotely to talk you through your problem and find a way to solve it. 

    All the best,
