Trados 2019 crashes in project with many repetitions/100%/CM

Hello,


I have been experiencing a really annoying problem with Trados lately, namely when I work on projects with larger number of repetitions/CMs/100% matches the studio crashes every few segments. It varies between projects, but at the moment I have a 3000+ word post editing project and I cannot work on it. Earlier today I had a project with almost no repetitions, and I experienced no crashes.

What can I do? I have a rather old PC with Windows 8.1 but for the last couple of years the studio worked perfectly.

Best,
Piotr

  • Could, but shouldn't be. Please try first to upgrade the TMs, if there is a orange triangle symbol on the TM symbol in your project settings. If that does not help, run a repair installation of your Studio.

  • Thanks again. I moved both the work files and the TM to my PC, upgraded the TM, performed Repair installation. All of this sadly didn't help.

    But I might have found the culprit: Match Repair. When it's on, the Studio performs a search, that might last a second or two. It works for most of the time, but with larger projects with tons of 100% or other matches it might just cause the Studio to crash (perhaps due to my older PC lacking in performance).

    When Match Repair is off, the match search performed by TM is always instantaneous. I don't remember if Match repair was added with an update of Studio 2019, but with larger files I've experienced more or less serious problems since it was introduced.

  • Match Repair has already been there in S2019.

    Please check this setting and switch LookAhead off:

    Trados Studio options menu with Translation Memory settings. The 'Enable LookAhead' option is checked.

    This is an additional power-consumer in Studio, which is in my humble opinion completely unnecessary... This might help.

    And if you think your PC might not be powerful enough, would you post the PC specs? At least the processor with the generation and the RAM.
