Trados Studio 2019 hangs on confirming segment, spawning two MS Word processes each time. What can I do to remedy this behaviour?

Nicolas Severyns

Hi, I am a novice Trados User, having worked for 8 years with MemoQ.

I have an issue with the new Trados Studio 2019: it hangs after confirming a segment. The mouse pointer wheel spins and I cannot edit the next segment for several seconds.

I opened Windows Task Manager to see which processes are consuming all this CPU time after confirming, and noticed that each time I confirm it segment, my pc spawns two MS Word background processes, that disappear after a few seconds. I'm quite sure they are the culprit, but don't know which Trados options to deactivate in order to remedy this behaviour? Deactivating the spell checker does not seem to change anything, using HTML preview instead of Word preview neither...

I would appreciate any help on this, because it really slows me down.

    MS Word Grammar Checker has been a frequent cause of freezes in several earlier versions of Studio. It is a bug causing a huge problem, which however can be fixed easily this way, and the plugin can be kept!

    1. Close Trados Studio and MS Word (any versions)

    2. Locate MS Word normal.dot(m) template here: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.

    3. Change its name to normal.bak

    4. Restart Word, then close it.

    5. Restart Trados Studio and most probably MS Grammar Checker will not be an issue, so that Studio will not freeze after Confirming an translation entry. (In case only MS Grammar Checker caused the problem.)
