In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

Hello,

Based on your description, it seems like you're encountering an error message "The object reference is not set to the instance of the object" after running the "PerfectMatch" function in Trados Studio 2022 SR2 - 17.2.11.19134. This error is usually related to a null reference, meaning that the software is trying to access an object that doesn't exist.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Close the dialog box and run the Perfect Match task from the files view. This can sometimes resolve the issue if it's related to a temporary glitch in the software.

Step 2: If the error persists, close and re-open Trados Studio, then run the Perfect Match task again. This can help reset the software and clear any temporary issues.

Step 3: If the problem still persists, you might want to consider updating your software to the latest version. You can check for updates within the application.

Step 4: If none of the above steps work, it might be a more complex issue that requires further investigation. In this case, you might want to consider reinstalling the software.

Please remember to back up your work and settings before making any major changes to your software.

I have already tried all the steps you supplied and it doesn't work.

Hi Bella Hsu  

Please try Workaround 2 at this link: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?sys_kb_id=788de6a01b0f9a50772c0dcad34bcb2d&id=kb_article_view

Kind regards,

Also try to update your Trados Studio.

If it still fails, does it work if you select Batch Task > Perfet Match? If it works, then you can go on with Batch Tasks > Pre-translate and Batch Tasks > Analyze

I tried Workaround 2, but it still doesn't work.

Hi, I have already updated it.

I didn't see the item "Perfet Match" as you said.

You need to go to the Target Files view:
