A little off topic but since you suggested this Paul from SDL... Nov 26, 2015

All you need to do is add J. and S. to your abbreviation list in your TM. Then it won't break the segments for Norwegian to English either.


I have added J. S., J., S., and even J. S. Bach to the abbreviation list under Settings in the TM view and even tried to add it to a new Language Resource Template (VERY confusing) and Trados still splits J. S. Bach into three segments. What is happening?

Has happened to me with very long files Nov 26, 2015

And I think it is becasue every time we merge, it has to change the segment numbering and if there are say 10,000 segments, it may take a bit. Splitting the files may make this more workable

It IS reproducible Nov 26, 2015

It freezes for me with big files too, but with the small files, at least, I have worked out the pattern for at least 90% of the times when Studio freezes during merge/split attempts.

If there is already some text in the segment immediately before the segments you want to merge/split, it does not freeze. In my case, at least, and on both of my computers, it will usually complete the action without freezing. It pretty much freezes all the time if I attempt to merge/split segments that

In my case, at least, and on both of my computers, it will usually complete the action without freezing. It pretty much freezes all the time if I attempt to merge/split segments that do not have text immediately before them.

For example, if I want to merge segments 9 and 10, there must be text at least in draft form in segment 8. Likewise, if I want to split segment 9, there must be text at least in draft form in segment 8.

In files where segmentation has not been ideal and there are lots of repetitions, I like to "prep" the file for the reps by merging/splitting segments before starting to translate. At the moment I achieve this by typing rubbish into (and NOT confirming) the segments immediately before the ones I want to actually merge/split.

However, it happens in the small files too.

Or alternatively create a new TM with nothing in it, a default. Test with that only and if it doesn't work add the abbreviations to that.

If it still fails please confirm that you have added the TM before you open the file? But if you can send me your TM so I can test with whatever you have set up you can send it to here: [email protected]

Same here, too Jan 28, 2016

Same here: Merging often freezes Studio. Just happened. Large file, the 2 segments to be merged were untranslated, but once activated for merging filled with a Fuzzy Match by Studio. I can not tell how to be reproduce reliably though.

I have developed the habit of saving the file before merging, which I consider a kind of "fragile" command. Annoying from time to time, but a bug I have gotten used to. Just like the one that you can not enter a Termbase macth twice in a target segment

To repro in Studio 2014… Jan 29, 2016

1. Split a segment
2. Clear target (to remove the “Draft” status)
3. Split another segment

To avoid Studio freezing, I skip step 2 as long as I need to split more segments. When I'm done, I save the file, close it, and reopen it. Then I can apply step 2 to the “Draft” segments. Yeah, it's a real pain, but it's worst when I forget this procedure…

I know the bug was still active in the first release of Studio 2015. Anybody can confirm it's already solved in Studio 2015?

Maybe the merging bug has a similar pattern and a colleage can share how to repro it (in order to avoid it).

Late to the merge-inducing SDL Trados freeze party Jul 18, 2017

I only use SDL Trados Studio 2014 when the client (a) is an excellent business relationship and (b) client provides me with a SDL project.

In all other cases, I use the tool of my choice. As a former software localization specialist for several software companies (including Intel), the Options and Project Settings menu options are counterintuitive, some are poorly named and the whole exercise of fishing for the right feature is mindboggling and unproductive.

I am working on a 1500-word rush project on a SDL Trados project file. My program froze when I tried to merge two segments. I had to kill the program and reopen it. Then I tried the merge operation and it worked.

For such programming error, we users shouldn't have to wait for the next version of the program.

So, this program does not increase my productivity.
