Hi all,

Cafetran as such works fine, but the program gets blocked (I can't edit target segments) when I switch between applications (e.g. Acrobat or use the browser). Does anyone have any idea why this happens and how I can fix

Cafetran as such works fine, but the program gets blocked (I can't edit target segments) when I switch between applications (e.g. Acrobat or use the browser). Does anyone have any idea why this happens and how I can fix this problem?

Thank you for your help and best regards,

Can you click in the target segment editor? Does the text cursor blink there?

Could it be that the programme is just being very slow? I just realized that if I wait a little, it sometimes works again, but not always ...

Increase Java memory Jul 1, 2021

If you use a huge translation memory with the slower/older processor, the initial Pretranslation might slow the program down - see its progress bar at the bottom of the interface. When it completes, the editing should be smooth as before.

Thank you, Igor Jul 1, 2021

I've increased Java memory and Cafetran does run faster, but my problem was not solved. As it seems, there is a problem with the cursor when switching applications and this is actually linked to VNC. I'm now working with TeamViewer and the problem is solved. The mysteries of IT...
Thanks again, Hans and Igor, for your help!
