This has been delivered with the Trados Studio 2026 release, see Trados Studio 2026 Release is here! for more information.

64-bit version of Studio

Please create a 64-bit version of Studio. At present only a 32-bit version is available, and therefore it can theoretically only access 2-3GB of system memory, meaning that upgrading your machine with more memory then this does not have any beneficial impact on Studio performance.

When handling large files & projects, allowing Studio access to all of your system's memory would make a huge difference in time and performance, and for this the app needs to be 64-bit.

Are there any plans to release a 64-bit version in future?

  • Another example of Trados promising the world, and leaving you scratching your head, because certain basic performance requirements are not met.

    for what it is worth, I was running 8gb of ram on a regular HD and Trados 2019 crashed all the time.  I then upgraded to 16gb and 1 tb SSD HD, and it still crashes... Looking at the system analytics, it is so sad to watch those 12gb of RAM going unused while Trados is on the brink of crashing at 30% of RAM...

  • Hello all,

    I work for a client who regularly sends me massive collections of project files and massive termbases to be observed during my translation and have been desperately trying to find a way to get Trados to run faster. A 64-bit version would be immensely welcome!! With many projects, I spend more time waiting for Trados to respond than actually working and the economic loss is considerable.

    Yes, I use my SSD drive and have a very modern, high-performance computer with plenty of RAM.

    Hereby bumping up this community request. My gratitude for a 64-bit version would know no bounds...! :)

    Any updates on the plans to introduce the 64-bit edition?

  • A 64-bit upgrade would indeed be most welcome. Studio has been updating from a bilingual file for review since this morning 9.30 am CET and still hasn't finished. This means our machine will have been blocked for a whole working day for one task only :-(

    Companies usually tend to take advantage of new technologies rather than sticking to old systems… The least SDL could do is propose both options like other software companies do.

    I assume it is more tempting to release "new" paid features than actually improving the software, or even fixing basic problems that have been present for ages. Studio is by far the slowest program of all programs I use, yet it clearly isn't the most powerful/intensive one. Besides, not a single program on my computers produces as many crashes as Studio.

    It seems proposing a new, 64-bit version just isn't profitable enough…
