Hello specialists,
I am in India and the internet speed I can have where I am is 3 MbpS. I have worked with other cloud tools with this speed and it worked. But I never work with SDL Worldserver under these conditions and i would like to make sure that my speed is enough before accepting a job which requires SDL Worldserver. I could not find anything regarding the required internet speed for the WorldServer in internet. Does anybody here know? Thanks and have a lovely Sunday. Best Ute
You'll probably be fine. However depending on the size of the projects you are assigned and the size of the TM's in WorldServer, some packages may take longer to download than others.. What translation tool would you be using to translate?
Hi Eric, thanks for getting back. In between I got in touch with SDL and I was told there that even 7 mbps would be vey slow, even though I do not have to download packages, nor do I have to access remote glossaries, I would only need to access the remote TM. Which size this TM has I do not now. At the moment I am enquiring if I can get better data packages. I made a check yesterday connecting my computer with my mobile connection which had 3,5 mbps download and 2,5 upload and the segments were indeed read from the TM too slow. It would not be good to work with this speed (per segment depending on the segment size between 10 and 15 seconds read-in time). But I still do not know, what the required speed should be. SDL said as high as possible. 10 mbps would still be payable, but then it becomes too expansive. Unfortunately I have to decide before buying the package and can only change it after one month. So I need to make the right decision. however thank you.

What version of WS is you client on? SDL has actually made improvements on TM response time in 11.4. Adding a new REST interface to request matches. This is something that is supposed to be accompanied by an update to Trados Studio as well. Will you be using Trados to translate?
Hm... I am not quite sure about the version of WS. I will be working/translating with Studio 2019 und Multiterm 2019. I know that the client a couple of month sent an update and we had to change the world server login data. But I do not know which version it it, nor where can I see this. Thanks again.
In the meantime, Ute has created 2 cases about this topic, which have been responded to. The Worldserver customer she needs to connect to from Studio is on version WS 11.4.0.56. Also: she receives the packages directly from the customer (no download/export from WorldServer required). The challenge for Ute is that she is required to be connected to the WorldServer server TM from Studio while translating (look-up TM). Internet speed is indeed important in terms of performance. While working in general will be possible with 3 or 7 Mbps, it won't be probably very efficient. But this is not a WorldServer problem but an issue in general when working with data transfer on a slow internet connection.
