Hello Katharina,  

Thank you for reaching out regarding the issue with the Quick Add Term function in Trados Studio 2024 SR1. It sounds frustrating to experience unexpected shutdowns without any error messages. Here are some steps you can take to potentially resolve this issue:  

**Step 1:** Check for Updates  

Ensure that you have the latest updates installed for both Trados Studio and MultiTerm. Updates often include fixes for known issues. You can check for updates within the application.  

**Step 2:** Reset Window Layout  

Sometimes, layout issues can cause unexpected behavior. Try resetting the window layout by going to View > Reset Window Layout.  

**Step 3:** Install the Rapid Add Term (RAT) Plugin  

As a workaround, consider installing the Rapid Add Term (RAT) plugin from the RWS AppStore. Many users have found this plugin to be a successful alternative for adding terms.  

**Step 4:** Repair Installation  

If the issue persists, you might want to repair your installation of Trados Studio. You can do this through the Control Panel by finding Trados Studio in the list of installed programs and selecting 'Repair'.  

**Step 5:** Check for Corrupted Resources  

If the problem continues, check if your translation memories (TMs) or termbases are corrupted. Disable them one by one in Project Settings to see if the crash still occurs. If you identify a corrupted resource, you may need to recreate it.  

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to wait for a future update that addresses this defect, as it has been logged with Development.  

I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.
