Hi Gérard,

I noticed that this issue sometimes happens with segments that end with a space char. Trados (in editor mode) simply freezes like you mentiond it. The workaround that sometimes helps is to use the context menue to confirm that specific segment. Sometimes it also has to do with (lets call it) unsupported fonts. For sure not every translator has every font and some characters cause troubles when working with trados. (Same problem with some file-types). It's also good to check the file naming before you start a translation job. Sometimes the file name seems to be ok, but the lenght of the save-path exceeds the limits or even worse the file is saved on a network drive or (worst case) onedrive etc. Personally I prefer to work on the local drive even if the backup job is extra work. One last big problem might be some of your plugins. My advice is to test that out by simply deactivating them if you have a specific project/segment which causes freezes.

Hope this helps you to solve some of the problems.

Kind regards

Oswald

Hello Oswald Schneider ,

Sorry for this very late answer, but I was busy working on a very big project and somewhat lost track of my post until today. And thank you for all your pieces of advice: I was already acquainted with most of them, and... Studio woud never let me leave a trailing space at the end of a target segment!

The "very big project" included 12k word *.idml files and much smaller ones, and the rule seemed to be: the bigger the file (and thus the bigger the number of of already confirmed segments after the one being reworked), the more likely the freezing issue. And it made me think that in my case it might just be a hardware problem: my PC is rather old, reasonably powerful (Intel 4-Core i5 processor, but olnly 8 Go RAM memory), but more would certainly be better and might spare me this freezing issue, who knows? Paul ?

Best regards.

P.S.:I also missed your answer because you did not tag me as I am tagging you.
