QA Terminology verification is incredibly, unbearably, unacceptably slow in Trados 2019.
Ok, here's the situation. I have a 20k word Project divided in multiple SDLXLIFF files. I always perform a virtual merge to work on them.
 
I have also created a Termbase which is, I believe, normal-sized (2571 entries, not huge, right?) with use of synonyms (while there are 2571 entries, there are 2747 source terms and 3239 target terms, I don't think that's relevant but I am mentioning it just in case).
 
Well, having ALL QA boxes except Terminology Verifier OFF (that is, I don't check for Grammar, QA, Number Verifier plugins or anything like that), the verification (pressing F8) is unacceptably slow. I have grown tired after 10 minutes of continuous work (and the progress bar was not even half finished!)))
 
To rub salt to the wound, I grew tired and canceled the verification and it's now taking a simmetrically long time just TO CANCEL! (My trados is blocked, it's now been over 10 minutes just to cancel the verification and it does not seem like it's going to end anytime soon!)
 
My computer is a top gaming laptop, 24 GB Ram, Windows 10, and the terminology file is located in a SSD drive (Trados itself is not, due to not daring to make the migration to an entirely SSD-based operating system, as I have MILLIONS of applications).
 
I don't think this behaviour is normal, but I am out of options. I perform frequent termbase reorganizations in Multiterm, to no avail.
 
Now, Terminology Verification is all but useless!

 

To make things worse, I did a retry after performing a fresh reorganization and decided to be patient and wait it out. And after some long time, the QA crashed with the message...

 

"Failed to verify document: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

 

GREAT!!!

 

Apparently one term in my termbase is ALSO broken (don't think it was responsable for the slow processing, though.. it's just and additional problem!)

 

And the log file does not help (here it is in case someone knows what this is about)

Any ideas, please? Termbase checking is crucial for my projects.

If it's any indication, QA software Verifika takes less than 3 minutes in doing this same operation... but of coruse that involves using a third party program and working harder to implement changes in Trados files afterwards..
