This is a desired behavior, as the messages are necessary to deliver a high quality translation. Instead of trying to get rid of this window, simply place it somewehere on your screen (not hidden behind Studio), where it will be more convenient to you. If you simply close it, it will pop up with the next error found in segment. And I think it will come even if you deselect segment verification, as not all errors will be omitted.

Jerzy Czopik I understand but my files are quite heavy and this is tremendously slowing down my review process.  So I don't want Studio to verify the segment one by one, I want to run the check at the end. Is this not possible?

Quite heavy means 10,000 words or 100,000 words? In any case, QA should have no influence on your speed. Check your QA settings, maybe you're using an add causing this delay. The simpler method to avoid delay would be deactivating just that part of QA for the time of translation. This window is similar to TM window—once removed it will pop-up when it is called by the program...

Hi Aubeline, hi Jerzy,

I always run my verifications at the end of a job, never after each segment.

I always have 'Enable verification of segment' unticked as displayed above, via:
File > Options > Editor > Automation > After confirming segments manually >  (untick) Enable verification of segment.

My Messages window is always present, but pinned as above behind my Translation results, where it remains until I need it.

In the project settings, no verification is unticked, but no verification takes place until I want it to.

Trados never switches to the Messages window, because it is not running the verifications when I confirm each segment.

Aubeline is finding that, even though she has unticked 'Enable verification of segment', once she has used the Preview function, she is still finding that verification takes place again each time she confirms a segment.

I cannot reproduce that scenario. I don't use the Preview function because it annoys me but when I do what Aubeline describes, it does not switch verification on confirm segment back on again.

Thus, either Aubeline's settings are different to mine, or her Trados setup is faulty.

Aubeline, there are other things that you can do to speed up Trados, for example:

You can turn off Match Repair in your project settings (or via File > Options if you always create a new project based on your profile settings)

Turn off fragment matching under File > Options

The above setting isn't in project settings so affects all projects old and new.

You can turn off Concordance searches if you want to:

Every little helps.

The one setting that I always have turned OFF is 'Enable LookAhead' also under File>Options>Automation:

Unticking this box will prevent Trados searching for the content ahead of the segment you're currently working in. If you have a powerful setup, LookAhead can streamline your translation process so your work is more efficient and faster. If you do not have a powerful setup, LookAhead will slow Trados down.

Changing the above settings will help your speed but, Aubeline, if your settings are as I described earlier in this thread 6 months ago to Rosanna, you should not be experiencing verification on confirmation of each segment.

The best thing would be for you to start a new thread and ask for someone at Trados to take a look at your setup.

Here are my instructions on how to do that: 

Click the +New button top right of this screen to create a new thread, write a short heading then ask your question again and ask specifically for someone to contact you from RWS Support.

The staff at RWS can only generate one Support Case per thread so this is why you need to start a new thread if you would like someone to help you with your specific problem; they can then look at your Trados setup remotely if required.

Give as many details of the problem as you can, and, for example which version of both Studio and MultiTerm you are using (they need to be the right version for each other) and what steps cause the issue to arise.

All the best,
Ali
