Hello,

I have been doing quite a number of alignments in Trados Studio 2015 since Dec. 2015 and I keep experiencing extremely bad/slow performance in the alignment editor, especially when disconnecting and reconnecting segments. The bigger the files, the worse it gets.

My Studio version is: 12.0.4996.3

My computer may not be the newest, but it is still very good regarding its performance.

Hello,

I have been doing quite a number of alignments in Trados Studio 2015 since Dec. 2015 and I keep experiencing extremely bad/slow performance in the alignment editor, especially when disconnecting and reconnecting segments. The bigger the files, the worse it gets.

My Studio version is: 12.0.4996.3

My computer may not be the newest, but it is still very good regarding its performance.

I have also done a whole lot of alignments with Trados Studio 2014 on a - by far - inferior machine, and I have never ever experienced such issues with 2014, even when working with very large files. That was a professional version though and I'm using a freelance version of 2015 now.

Interesteingly, this problem only occurs with the alignment editor. I can process huge files for translation without any trouble at all.

Has anyone had similar issues? Any ideas what might cause this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Screen resolution? May 26, 2016

Hello Christian,

Sorry if I answer your question quite late. I did an alignment job a few months ago and I experienced the same kind of problem.

I was using a laptop connected to a separate screen with a high resolution, the one by default when I (physically) close the laptop. After some time, I realized the alignment tool worked faster when the laptop was not connected to the separate screen, or when it was connected but not closed. I’ve been using Windows 10 for a ...

Hello Christian,

After some time, I realized the alignment tool worked faster when the laptop was not connected to the separate screen, or when it was connected but not closed. I’ve been using Windows 10 for a few months, but I don’t know if it matters anyhow.

I hope this can help you or anyone else, though this is just what I experienced.

Best regards,

Still problematic Jun 4, 2016

I tried switching to lower screen resolution which helped a bit, but made work somewhat tedious since I was only able to view a few segments at a time.

I am currently working on an alignment of a Word document with about 100 pages and performance in the alignment editor of Trados Studio 2015 is so slow, I keep thinking it will just shut down at any moment. I am losing so much time it isn't really funny anymore.

Any word from SDL on this issue would be greatly appreciate... See more

Again, this is not a general performance issue. I am working on a Windows 10 PC and my performance on everything else, including the translation of really big documents in Trados Studio 2015 is working absolutely fine. It is only the alignment editor that is acting up.

EDIT: Studio crashed completely with the latest alignment. The only way I see to currently align documents of the above-mentioned size is to split the documents down to a size of max. 20-25 pages. This way the performance of Studio appears to be more or less acceptable. This is still somehwhat annoying though.

Did you ever get any reply from SDL? Feb 24, 2017

Hello Christian

I'm experiencing the same issue as we speak, and it is horribly annoying. Never thought I would wish for WinAlign to come back.
Moreover, I just bought a new pc, so that can have nothing to do with this.
Did you ever get any reply from SDL concerning a solution? The whole alignment process is so much worse in Studio; I have no idea what they were thinking at SDL...

Kind regards

No... Feb 24, 2017

Now that you ask me... I think I tried to submit a ticket but found that I somehow couldn't. But it has been a while.

As I don't do big alignments very often, I mostly gave up on it anyway. Or, as a work around, I just split up the files in numerous parts.
