Question improvement suggestion: Provide more details about the specific steps you took before encountering the error and clarify if you have any backups of your translation.  

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

Hello,  

To avoid losing your translation after encountering the "Systemoutoff/Memory/Exception" message, you can follow these steps:  

**Step 1:** Save your current work immediately. If you haven't done so already, try to save the SDLXLIFF file or any other format you are working with.  

**Step 2:** Check the "Number of translation units per page" setting. Go to **File > Options > Translation Memories View** and reduce this number to see if it helps with the memory issue.  

**Step 3:** Verify your Translation Memory (TM) for any entries exceeding 5000 characters. You can do this by going to **Resources > Translation Memories**, selecting your TM, and launching TM Maintenance. Use the filter options to check for large TUs.  

**Step 4:** If the issue persists, consider creating a new project using the XML V2 file type, which has shown improvements in handling larger files.  

**Step 5:** If you suspect that images or other non-translatable content are causing the issue, create a custom file type that sets image content as non-translatable.  

**Step 6:** If you have a backup of your translation, you can revert to that version. Otherwise, consider exporting your current translation to a TM or TMX file to preserve your work.  

**Step 7:** Restart Trados Studio and try to reopen your project. If the problem continues, you may need to troubleshoot further or consider reinstalling the software.

Have you confirmed all segments? If so, you can try to save and exit Studio. Before you do so, close all other programs. This can help avoiding the out of memory exception error. If the error appears again and your segments are in the TM, you can safely close Studio without saving. Restart your PC, restart Studio and restore the translated segments from the TM.

If the segments are not confirmed yet, go back and confirm the segments one by one to make sure, that they will be stored in the TM. Then close Studio and proceed as described before.

Yes, I confirmed my translations and they were saved, thank you. I updated to the recommended Studio 2022 version and reopened my project. Everything seems to be working again. However, I received the following message: An attempt was made to read or write to protected memory. This is often a sign that other memory is corrupted.
