A Translation Memory (TM) seems to have become sluggish or contains undesirable duplicate Translation Units (TU). You may also encounter issues when using or trying to upgrade the TM.

Solution:

Recreate the translation memory (duplicate TUs are automatically omitted from the import and some structural errors are fixed):

1. Export the content of the affected TM, by opening it in the Translation Memories View and right-clicking the TM's name, and choosing "Export"
2. Create a new TM by right-clicking your original TM's name and choosing "New Translation Memory From"
3. Open the TM created in step 2 in the Translation Memories view, right-click it and choose "Import", to import the .tmx generated in step 1

NOTE: If you want to recreate a server-based translation memory, in step 2. use the option "New Server-based Translation Memory From".






 

TM is old and large and has not been re-indexed for a long time, or it has been damaged in some way (by a system crash, data transfer, a 3rd-party application, etc.).
