QuickPlace stopped working

Hello,

I was translating in Trados as usual when I got an error after a simple Find and Replace action. Since I am used to receiving trivial errors from Trados, I did not even read the error and resumed work. I just remember it said something about "Index out of place" or the like.

The problem is that, after a while, I tried to use QuickPlace through the shortcut I use (Ctrl+Alt+Down) to insert a tag pair and it does not work anymore! I tried several ways to fix this: changing the shortcut, restarting Trados, restarting my computer, restoring Trados to default settings (https://gateway.sdl.com/articles/SolutionArticles/000001417), repairing Trados installation (https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000001414) but to no avail Disappointed.

I ran out of ideas on how to fix this without completely uninstalling Trados and installing it again (and, TBH, I am not even sure it could work given that I already repaired the installation and this did not work). And I am sure there must be an easier way to fix such a silly bug.

Any ideas on how to fix this? If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated! Slight smile

Kind regards,

Manuel

  • Hi Paul,

    Thank you for your answer and sorry for the late answer. I have been working without Trados during the last fortnight and did not see the notification.

    Yes, I checked and tried to change it to see if it worked with another shortcut, but to no avail.

    Luckily enough, it seems that this was a one-time problem that only happened with that specific package/project from client, so I guess (and hope!) it was just a temporary glitch. As a matter of fact, I am now working with another project and it works normally. I will pay more attention next time I receive the aforementioned "Index out of place" error so that I can provide further details.

    I guess this thread can be closed.

    Kind regards,

    Manuel
