Importing large Memories

Hi

Does anyone have trouble importing large Trados memories into DV X ?

I have imported a Trados txt file which contained 360,000 TUs but DV only imported 10,000 of them.

I then tried to import the same TM as TMX but DV X crashes when I am asked to "Specify Language Conversion" in the Translation Memory Import Wizard

Anyone know the best way to get large Trados memories imported into DV X

thanks

I prefer TMX files for importing Trados TMs into DVX. There may be some problems in the Trados TM, and the exported TMX file, you can use TMXValidator to find such problems.

Some ideas Mar 5, 2010

I would suspect a corrupt txt TM and would check the txt file at the last imported segment for any weird codes (in Word, to make more of them visible).

Otherwise, 360,000 TUs is quite large, and when my laptop reaches its memory limits, it sometimes crashes. Then it often helps to reboot with only the required minimum of applications running.

It's a good idea.
DVX tends to hang or quit silently the import procedures when an error is spotted.
I have a lot of "tricky" small files like this.
Nevertheless, a correct TMX should work well.

E.g., you can import your TMX file to Olifant (or similar), save, then import in DVX.
The incorrect units should be filtered off.
