Trados Studio 2021 Slow Network Performance

Hello, 

I'm currently working with a client who uses Trados Studio 2021 SR2, where the application is installed locally on users workstations and files are stored on a SMB share, hosted by a Windows Server. 

However, users are reporting performance issues with Trados Studio, where the application can often hang and take a very long time to initially open. 

Would anyone be able to confirm if SMB share is working fine for them and any recommendations that could help. 

Thanks!

  • Hi  

    Sharing file based resources at either project, TM or Termbase level has always come with caution.

    Please refer to this article for clarification  with Language Cloud technology being an option worth exploring.
    However it is important you try define the reported slowness which you have already attempted given you say 

    the application can often hang and take a very long time to initially open. 

    I would suggest:
    Remove all projects from the projects view list so users can browse back to their active projects. This is just the relevant project(s) are being referenced.

    Others things to review:

    • Maintain Studio instance by repairing / resetting it, instructions are here 
    • If you are using Apps, are they all updated?

    Looking forward to your reply

  • Check your network speed. Curcial is the location of TMs and TBs. If these are on a network share and not local, the speed may go rapidly down. I have all my project files located on a local NAS (SMB share), but ALL TBs and TMs are on a locak NVMe SSD. This way working is OK. However, a gigabit network must deliver really high speed, otherwise it will get very slow.
